How to Survive the Loss of a Love

The absolute best book I've ever read for those recovering from a traumatic event -- the death of a loved one, a really bad break-up, the end of a dream. I received a copy after losing my first love and don't know what I would have done without it. This isn't a "traditional" self-help book -- it's not written like a novel. Each page contains one paragraph of information, and the facing page contains a short poem by Peter McWilliams. I don't know how to describe it other than to say it's very powerful -- and very life-changing. Even many years later, I can remember many of those poems. The book itself opens in stating the book is meant to be "used, not read." If you're going through a tough time, get it and use it.

This was an odd book, it was full of poetry and odd advice, I didn't find it useful at all. Although I did like some of the poems.

very helpful; everyone who has lost a loved one - through separation or other - should read this

Great historical quotes provides a sense of universality.

I LOVE this book. The poems are inspiring.
