Book Reviews of Healing Grief: Reclaiming Life After Any Loss

Book Review: Loss of a Loved One...
Summary: 5 Stars

It never ceases to amaze me how narrow-minded & limited people can be. We are taught early on to believe in so many things we can't see and must just "know" it happened or believe it's true. Why people resist the idea that there is life after death or even the possibility that we aren't alone, is beyond me. James Von Praagh says it perfectly in his chapter Guidance From Above. "We always project out into the world the thoughts, feelings, and attitudes that preoccupy us. It is up to you to see the world differently by changing your mind about what you want to see. The temptation to react with anger, depression, or excitement exists because of interpretations we make of the external stimuli in our environment. Such interpretations are based on incomplete information... Do not look to others to satisfy that which is lacking in self."
That said, I lost my father in a horrific auto accident. I had purchased this book a year before my Dad's death and didn't finish it. A few years after my Dad's death I picked it up again and found it to be an amazing, helpful book to get me through different areas of loss, not just my Dad's death.
We live life learning new things everyday. James Von Praagh reinforces this in the chapter The Grieving Process with the stages of grief. We are our own being and need to take control of our own life. I suggest this book to anyone that has experienced any type of loss.

Summary of Healing Grief: Reclaiming Life After Any Loss

?Grieving is a natural process. It is through our losses that we can transform ourselves and find new meaning in life.? --James Van Praagh

James Van Praagh, who possesses the extraordinary ability to communicate with the heavenly realm beyond our physical world, has changed the lives of millions of people who have lost loved ones. Now, in a book destined to open pathways of hope and healing for millions more, the renowned medium and author of the New York Times bestsellers Talking to Heaven and Reaching to Heaven reveals how the devastating sorrow of a loss can lead to incredible opportunities for spiritual growth--and bring a sense of renewal and focus to our lives.

Van Praagh shares many insightful spiritual messages from deceased loved ones, who shed new light on grief and loss. These stories, along with accounts of his own personal experiences, assist us in viewing our losses as stepping-stones on our soul?s evolving spiritual journey. In turn, we become aware of how we are connected to a larger universe, between the seen and unseen worlds. This deeply felt, wise, and compassionate book offers hope for a true healing of the mind and spirit, as we move beyond grief and loss--to a life of freedom, joy, and purpose.


World-renowned medium James Van Praagh (Talking to Heaven, Reaching to Heaven) says he has listened intensely for thousands of hours to "the subtle whispers between our earthly world and the finer etheric world of spirit." In writing this book on grieving, Van Praagh hopes to offer comfort and reassurance of eternal life, "so that you do not have to go through the rest of your days groping blindly in sorrow and pain," he explains. Yet Van Praagh also offers doses of his own hard-earned wisdom, keeping this guidebook firmly grounded in an earth-smart kind of reality.

Healing Grief is divided into four sections: The first part addresses "The Process," how humans cope with grief, including personal ruminations on the classic four stages. In part 2 Van Praagh speaks to "When Someone You Love Dies," offering specific essays on losing parents, grandparents, siblings, lovers, best friends. In part 3 he recognizes the numerous other losses that we grieve over--divorce, midlife crisis, losing a home or a job. In the final section Van Praagh speaks to reclaiming our lives, calling upon all that he believes of the after-life as well as listing specific rituals and activities that promote healing. Fans will appreciate his characteristically smooth writing style and the numerous fascinating anecdotes from his clients. --Gail Hudson
