Seven Choices by Neeld - Inspirational Self-Help Book (Published 1990) | Personal Growth, Life Decisions & Motivation | Perfect for Book Clubs, Gifts & Spiritual Journeys

I purchased this book at the suggestion of a neighbor who lost her husband. She said it was the best book she has ever read on grieving and that it helped her turn a corner in her grieving process.I was not disappointed in her high praise. Even though I am not currently in a grief-state, I think it is helpful to read books like this from time to time in preparation for loss or to help others who are currently grieving. While I was reading this book a friend lost her husband to cancer. Using the information in the book, I have been able to be there for her as a friend and allow her to set the pace of what she needs.It has been enlightening to read this book and Elizabeth Harper Neeld is tremendously open and candid in her recounting of her grief experience. This is the kind of book that no one ever wants to need but 99% of us WILL need the information it contains at some point in our lives.It is a rather long book but I read a page or two each morning and worked through the book over several weeks. I could see someone who is actively grieving may be daunted by the weight of the book. I would hope that they would still check it out and read what they can. I think they will find it worth their time.
