Review of Living Forward After Loss
[Following is a volunteer review of "Living Forward After Loss" by Kathleen Ho.]
Have you ever lost a loved one? How shocking and devastating was it ? Did you feel like going back to the past to spend more time with your loved one or taking your own life to go and be with them? These are questions that everyone who has lost a loved one at one point in life with be familiar with.
Life after the death of a person's Loved one especially a spouse could sound meaningless and in this book Living forward after a loss by Kathleen Ho one will learn how to survive the first few months after the death of one's spouse.
In Living forward after a loss, Kathleen Ho hopes to help people who might be passing through a traumatizing period after the death of their spouse to be able to live a new life and be happy again. This she does by sharing her real life experiences, her feelings and the steps she took that lead to her inner healing.
There were so many things I liked about the book. Firstly was the story of the egg, potatoes and coffee beans. These three objects went through the hot water but their results all differed after the hot water process. The egg became hard, the coffee beans melted and the potatoes became soft. This represents how people behave when they pass through difficult times. Some become hard, some become vulnerable but some adapt and blend into the new found situation. The story was very inspiring and I really commend the author for that.
Another thing I loved about the book was the tone of the writer. I loved it when she said, "you will have a peaceful smile back on your face", "your new chapter of life with be filled with fulfillment", "you will find blessedness again". Those words were very comforting and reassuring.
I loved the way she accepted her fate. From what I read in the book, she described her husband as a good, smart man who was caring and had a heart of gold. From her description I could imagine how much she had missed her husband but she still had to let him go. I also loved the way she appreciated people at the beginning of the book, I was a big list as she made conscious efforts to mention everyone who had helped her in her period of trial, it was good to know that she never forget their little-big efforts in bringing her back to life.
There was nothing I hated about the book. It was not boring as I has expected it to be, it was also inspiring and really relates to real life experiences, for that, I give it 4 stars out of 4 stars. The book was professionally edited as I could not find errors in it. I encourage anyone passing through trial time to have a copy of this book, those who feel that they have gotten to the end of the road and do not see any reason to keep living.
