Reader feedback on Sugar Cookies and a Nightmare

 

"There have been times while I have been reading that I can actually feel the brick on my chest get heavier, and heavier. But then I remind myself that you are not supposed to love the pain, but you are supposed to appreciate the lessons that come from the pain…while it will be such an honor to give this work to our Project Grace participants, what I really look forward to is their receiving the immeasurable gifts from reading your story."

"Your book is such a gift! I only wish I had known about it when my husband died. It is the most helpful and sensitive book I've read dealing with ambiguous (unexplained loss). But, it also helps so much when dealing with the "death" of any dream. Your beautiful book has given me strength and faith in the human spirit to rise above."
