“Writing from the heart about grief, Paul Bennett tells his story from the depths of his soul. In Loving Grief Paul helps us to see that experiencing loving memories does not mean you cannot also love again. As he describes his experience of Bonnie’s continuing presence, Paul reveals insights into unexpected growth he finds within his grief.”

Coming out of the fog of grief myself a friend gave me this book to read. My identity was intertwined for 34 years with my wife. So when she left us my past life seemed to disappear. That thought was so well written in this book. I have since developed a future which includes of all things a blog on the journey on grief after a loved ones death. You can see it at http://mycompassourstory.blogspot.com.
Loving Grief was for me the answer for all my questions. I lost my husband 6 months ago and I never thought I could express the love and grief that I was feeling for him. Paul Bennett helped me to express my grief with no fear or shame. Your book was a pacifier for me. I undertood that my grief is the same size of my love for my husband. I wish I could talk to Paul and share my exprerience with him because I loved a unconditional love and this book helped me very very much on my grief. Thanks Paul.
