My father passed away a few years ago and it’s something that has always stuck with me. There are still certain things that I find hard and I try and put it to one side, only really skimming the surface. Although this focuses on the sudden death of a loved one, I still found it very comforting to hear and the practical and emotional advice given covers so many aspects of someone’s passing. As a father I found the chapter on helping children cope with grief interesting and I’ve learnt a lot from that. I could also relate to many of the real-life stories and they are an important part of the audiobook.

Losing several loved ones over the past few years has been really hard. Grief comes and goes, and some days feel heavier than others. This book helped me process those feelings and find ways to move forward without forgetting the people I’ve lost. The stories reminded me how important it is to appreciate the people in my life while they are still here. It didn’t take away the pain, but it gave me comfort and a better way to cope.

I initially played the book just to meet my listening requirements but soon found myself focusing on the important sections. The narrator’s voice is pleasant, and the material is truly valuable.

It also brought back memories of when I lost my uncle, who was very close to me. He was only 35, and his sudden death left me in deep grief. I still remember how heavy our home felt afterward, and how I would try to find corners to console myself. At that time, I wanted to comfort his children, who were just 8 and 9 years old, but I didn’t know how. This book explained beautifully how everything takes time to heal, including grief and pain. I especially appreciated the chapter that guided on how to console children teaching them the reality while also giving them hope, so they can slowly begin to heal and move forward.

Another chapter I found very interesting was about how different cultures handle grief. Some celebrate it as a way to say goodbye happily, which is a beautiful perspective. Still, I believe the loved ones always carry the pain of not being able to see the departed again.

Overall, this book was amazing, offering both comfort and knowledge in a very relatable way.

Helpful!

Losing my grandmother unexpectedly left me feeling adrift, and this audiobook offered a comforting hand to hold. Robert Woody's narration was especially soothing; his voice felt so genuine and empathetic, like a friend offering support. The book didn't magically erase the pain, but it provided practical steps and heartfelt stories that helped me understand my grief and navigate the confusing emotions. I especially appreciated the advice on handling anniversaries, which had been a source of anxiety. I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone struggling with the sudden loss of a loved one and seeking solace and guidance on their healing journey.
