The book is filled with incredible ideas and insight about how to cope with loss, how to move forward when you are grieving, and how to help others if they are going through a hard time.
I love that Debbie gives us ways to feel ‘normal’ even when things feel upside down. The book is in itself like a heavy sigh of relief, just being able to read about and think about death without it being taboo or too difficult or uncomfortable to talk about. “Take the time you need to cocoon,” she reminds us. “Be patient with yourself. Do what you need to do as you heal.” Debbie’s story is inspiring, and I felt proud of her for the vulnerability she shows in sharing the story of losing her husband and how she got through that experience.
I think a book like this will be really helpful at certain times in my life, to read again and reflect on when I am going through a loss. I’ll definitely keep it on my bookshelf, both for myself and as a precious gift to share with friends and family at the times when they need it most.
Titled perfectly, reading this book left me feeling, for the first time, that I was indeed not alone.
It’s rare – in fact, this might have been the first time – that I tell people to buy a book before I’ve even finished reading it. But, halfway through, I couldn’t wait any longer. I’m actually at a loss on how best to describe this book, it’s that powerful! All I can really say is if you are grieving, know someone who is grieving, want to prepare yourself for the experience to come, or are simply interested in a compelling story of loss, survival and renewed living, get this book today
For those of us who haven’t experienced it yet, we wonder what it would be like to be thrown into immeasurable grief. That’s what happened to the author of this riveting book. Debbie Augenthaler not only recounts in vivid, compelling prose what it was like to lose her husband, but she offers clear and encouraging coping suggestions for those enduring intense grief. I found this book so deeply moving and encouraging that I could turn right around and read it again.
You Are Not Alone is a unique and powerful guide for “grief, healing, and hope.” Interspersed with Debbie Augenthaler’s story are pauses and meditations that offer insights into grief, strategies to try, beautiful poetry, and other gifts of encouragement and comfort.
Debbie Augenthaler’s book You Are Not Alone: A Heartfelt Guide for Grief, Healing, and Hope could be a valuable guide to weathering the storm of grief. When you take Augenthaler’s grief experience and add her education and training as a therapist, you get a book that is a valuable resource for those who have lost a loved one. This book can be the voice of someone who gets it, who’s been there done that — and managed to live through it. It can be a resource that is turned to over and over again.
You Are Not Alone is a heartfelt read that shows the journey one must take during their grieving process. Debbie writes with a loving hand and a heartwarming personal touch as she shares her own grief and personal stories.
