I also recommend this book as a wonderful supportive "self-help" book from someone who has also been there. It has universal application to all of us who have faced this very traumatic tragedy in our life too. It offers keys to healing and reaches out to all of us to seek professional help when needed. Having walked the same path I felt totally drawn into the accurate descriptions of many of the same emotions I also felt. I could not put the book down at all. You, too, will be compelled to finish it once you start reading it.
