The grief of divorce and the grief of death are completely different. Hinting that they are similar is hurful to persons that go through the pain.
I have a faith of an afterlife and would much rather have had my wife die. I would better savor the fantastic memories of the past with a hope to see her again someday (but misguided if there is none).
Missing a name who likes you is DEATH. Your lover turning traitor and assassin is DIVORCE. These are very different griefs to overcome.
Can I also apply this book to the grief of a burned-down house (no insurance) and lost life tale?

This is a non-threatening user-friendly book that helps the reader both know the experience of grief and find ways to recover from its impact.

I felt that they rushed you through the process. I am farther along in my grief recovery so it do bother me that much. But if your loss is still fresh I do not recommend this book. Find a therapist and work through some thing then buy the book.

When I lost a close family tree member several years ago, I had to deal with it in my own way. Grieving is a natural process. While I did not let it define my life, I did let it take it’s course and it has affected me and I expect it to impact my life forever. I do not judge that a person can apply a process to “getting over” a tragedy. This is different than a “12 step” substance abuse recovery program. If you’ve lost a name, look for couseling and reading material that help you to know what you are feeling, I also judge that reading about or sharing situations others have gone through helps – each one is unique but it shows that you are not alone. I establish that support from family tree and friends was the largest comfort. I also do not reflect it is appropriate to compare divorce or job loss to death. Really different situations, death is much more final – even to the most optimistic of us than any of the others. If you are grieving from loss of life – look somewhere else.

We bought this book based on a recommendation that although it talked about divorce and death, the process was helpful for additional losses as well. You need to be able to plow through A LOT of repetition about divorce and death to see that. I am a very open reader and can see past the obvious, but this one was even tough for me. If the authors are serious about using the book for additional losses, then make a book that focuses in as much detail, and with as many examples, as the death and divorce events in this one.
