Ottakee Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I just finished this great book on handling life when it isn't fair and you are living a life you never imagined and question why, whye, and how will I ever survive. I started this book about 6-8 weeks ago when my life turned upside down. It has been a huge encouragement. I have laughed, I have cried, I have savored a paragraph. It is an easy read but a book that is better savored page by page, section by section. It is certainly a Christian faith based book but I do think others could benefit as well. I am not even positive where it came from (possibly an adoption conference) but there it was, a brand new book waiting on my bookshelf just when I needed it. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachel Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I’m sorry Ottokee! I hate that you are going through a hard time and wish I could help Would this book be appropriate for grief following miscarriage/infant loss? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The author suffered a few miscarriages and failed invitro. She even says in the book, if you feel like embracing her book, do so and if you don't feel free to throw it against a wall. She gets that grief and heartache are real and hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaillardia Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 My library consortium doesn't have it, will recommend it. Is it really that good? I'm in a place I never thought I'd be in, I can't imagine how my husband feels. He's facing a lot of health problems that seemed to sneak up on him quickly. Things could be worse, but they aren't like they used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not your typical touchy/feely/everything will.be hunky dory book on when life doesn't go as planned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorningGlory Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Thank you for this recommendation. I am in a very "this isn't fair", why, why, why, why state right now, and my usual comforting sources (family, Scripture, music, flowers, trees, hikes, birds) are not helping at all. I can't quite control my angry bewilderment. The thing is...finding the time to read. ? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me almost 8 weeks to get through the book. There is no hurry in this process 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 Here is a quote from the book******** Hey, you. Are you debating whether to destroy something with your bare hands or curl up on the couch for a decade or two? This book will solve all of your problems. (Sheesh, that’s aiming a bit high.) ******* Gives you just a bit of the flavor 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
