I loved the pamphlet. It was clear. It was simple and right to the heart. Easy to understand. Barbara writes great stuff and I have many Thanks Barb

I simply love all of my books! I recently lost my dear sweet Mama. She was under Hospice Care for just one week, and they gave me the Blue Book, "Gone From My Sight". I did not know these books even existed. I would have loved to have had them all, while I was taking care of her the six months she lived with me before she passed. Thank you so very much for such wonderful helpful books. One day, I will pass these on to love ones who may need them. Barbara, you are so "spot-on" with your writings. Mama and myself experienced many of the same things you talk about in your books. Thanks again so much! God has Blessed you to Bless others. I am one of them.

I appreciated this booklet very much with one exception. Twice, at least, grief is described as "selfish." The negative connotations of that word made me feel even worse as I am going through a grief process. Couldn't you use words like, "introspective" "personal" or "private" instead of "selfish" Yes, grief deals with the self, as do all our emotions. Please, don't suggest that people are selfish for feeling grief.

As a caregiver counselor, I find it necessary to give the booklets out to caregivers whose loved ones have reached the end of life. It helps during this transition stage in their lives.

I would like to share this with my Jewish friends, but I would feel better if religion weren't a part of it, or if it is, say "church/temple" instead of assuming all people get support from a church. I did appreciate the poem, and the advice on "do's and don't's". I will still use this as a tool.
