Ry Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Here's the deal: I have found a great book about getting through grief-- I've bought it for numerous people and read my copy several times. I don't believe I need it any more so here's my proposition-- I will mail it to someone with all my notes, highlighted passages etc. The next person highlights or marks things meaningful to them and mails it to the next person on the list. Everyone signs their name inside as a "sister." Michelle if you're willing you can be first -- I know you're struggling. PM me your address. Anyone that wants to be on the list put your name below and the person above will PM you for your address. This book covers it all - even how to deal with kids. Your loss does not have to be recent -- I've read it off and on for over 2 years now. It does not have to be read in any order either so you can skip areas that may not relate to where you are at the moment. Oh and let me add -- I am not a self help book person at all so if I liked it --that is really saying a lot. Who's first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaminkw Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 OMG Ry, what a fabulous idea! I hope this really takes off. Maybe someone could let us know down the line that the book is "traveling." Judy in Key West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shineladysue Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Ry, this is such an awesome idea. Hope you can find a taker who really needs it. Has Michelle seen this? Hugs, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 Sue- not sure on Michelle. I should send her a PM. You are welcome to be #1 if you want. Oh, and I should add that this is not just for women-- men can read too and be the brotherhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaMarie Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Thats a great idea... I probably bought the book already though, based on your recommendation! Is it "Seven choices...finding daylight after loss shatters your world"? I have been reading it and I really like it so far. I like the Choices I am having to make, it makes me feel proactive about my grieving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I borrowed a book from the shelf of the house I stayed in last week - but want to recommend it even if I can't lend it. "Learning to Fall".

Ry Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 That's it Christina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shineladysue Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I appreciate the thought Ry, but I've been having a bad time with my eyes lately and find it difficult to sit down and read a book. I need to get into the eye doc... not only am I past due for an eye exam , but my glasses are bent and ... well, I procrastinate.
