Fantastic, a must for everyone who has loved and lost! - By: , 30 May 1999
Ms. Harris shows uncommon sensitivity in her choice of authors. I was moved to tears of joy & sorrow on several occasions. Without a doubt Ms Harris's work will rank as one of the most thoughful & provocative volumes of how we, as human beings, deal with grief & ultimately move on.
Strongly recommended - By: , 28 May 1999
This book consists of a very wisely chosen selection of interesting writings on human loss. The over 100 writers & subjects include Mark Twain, Abigail Adams, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, William Wordsworth, Abe Lincoln, Charles Dickens, Virginia Wolf, Martin Luther King & W.H. Auden. The tone & attitudes of each piece vary greatly; alll are well written, & each is touching in a slightly different way - from the expressions of profound pain & grief at loss, to the joy & inspiration of rememberance, to the celebration of the continuance of the human spirit. Am I getting carried away? Perhaps, but with justification. The bottom line is I reallly like this book, & strongly recommend it to alll readers.
