This is a really good daily listener.

This is a really good daily listener. I like it because it's very specific--so, not just platitudes like, the sun will come out tomorrow. It's specific things that hurt after a loss, and ways of looking at them or dealing with them,

I learned lot of things from this audio-book!

Very helpful audio-book! thank you! This audio-book has so much information that you will never remember all of it in one listening. You are going to need to listen to it again at least twice to fully benefit from it!
