Customer Reviews

Excellent therapy
This book was recommended by a professional I'm seeing for grief counseling following my divorce. It has reiterated many of the ideas we've discussed in my counseling sessions and has amazed me that at times it seems the author was "reading my mind". I highly recommend it for anyone whose love relationship has ended. It's easy to read; each chapter is unique but tied to the others, and seems to cover all the emotions.

Great resource!
It's been about a year since I read this book but it came at a time when I really needed it.

Close to two years ago my husband left. We had been together for 12 years and had just had a baby. I was devastated. I was crushed. I was lost. I ordered this book based on the reviews and started it when it first arrived, however, I didn't get very far. It was too difficult to face that things were really over between us. At the time, I wasn't ready to begin "moving-on."

A few months after my split I met a wonderful guy. I was VERY concerned that I was rebounding or that I wasn't "ready" for a new serious relationship and that's when I pulled out this book and read it from cover to cover. Because of some counseling I had, I had already worked thru a lot of the building blocks discussed in this book but the book really helped me thru the rest of them. It helped me to see some really negative things about my previous relationship that I hadn't been ready to face. It also helped me to become a "whole" person without a romantic relationship.

Overall I really liked this book and thought the ideas expressed were very helpful to someone going thru a divorce. The only caution I can offer to future readers is that the book probably won't help you unless you are truly willing to face the facts and move on. If you are looking for a book that will console and comiserate with you - this is not your book. If you are looking for a book that will truly help you work on yourself and help you *deal* with your divorce then you should find this book extremely helpful. Again, you need to be "ready" before you will gain anything from this book.

Best Advice for anyone going through heartbreak.
When I was going through my divorce, I was devastated. My psychologist, Maria, recommended this book. It was so helpful to me, that every time I have a friend or colleague who goes through an emotionally wrenching breakup, I buy them a copy. This is what everyone needs to know to get back on track and get on with their lives.
