Beautiful book.

My mother gave me this book shortly after I suffered a major loss in my life and it helped me immensely. That was 20 years ago and I’ve just reread it to be reminded how special life is.

Beautiful and Sad

Very sad, but beautifully written and assisting in understanding what is inevitable and learning to make peace with it. Just sad.

disheartening

Such a good story, very informative, only to be ruined at the end by a commercial.
