A must for anyone who's had a loss.......2007-03-12

this is an excellent book for anyone who has had a loss. I run a support group and highly recommend this book to help work through the hard times experienced through grief.

Cleanse your soul with this journal!.......2005-09-23

One of my friends gave me this journal after the death of my father in 1998. It has helped me "cleanse my soul" of the grief and heartache and pain of losing someone who your world revolves around. It has helped me so much so, that I have purchased large quantities of these journals to give to people as my own personal ministry to them. Somehow the "giving" of these journals makes my father's death a little easier to live with - in fact almost 6 years later - it still does. There are days I just go back to read the things I wrote and am conforted by my progress in healing and hope others I have given them to along the way are as well.

The greatest thing about this journal are the open ended questions and statements for you to fill in with whatever your feeling and thoughts are right then. And it leaves enough room for you to come back later and write more - it gives you a look over time of how you WERE feeling versus how you ARE feeling. The REALNESS of this journal is what draws me to it. Personally though, I hope you never need it.

COMFORTING/SAFE PLACE .......2005-08-22

A few weeks after my mom died, I ordered this book. I reviewed it in the book store and decided it was a fit for my loss and mourning process.

It has been a great source of comfort and relief for me. When I write in the journal, the words just flow and the pages fill; sometimes I continue writing on subsequent pages. Not all of the headings/topics fit the subject or reflection I am writing, but I find a fitting topic and the words flow.

Since her death, this journal has helped me through the entire year to express my inner feelings. At first I would cry a little after competing a segment. Now, it's a comfort and like a friend to go to--a solace away--hidden garden away from the world who doesn't have time or the empathy to hear my inner thoughts (I wouldn't share these thoughts or reflcetions with just anyone). They are private reflections and thougts for the book, my mom, and myself. The results: I am free to live, love, and be myself again.

If I had the time, I could sit and write in this book for hours. I am a believer in journaling and I have written on a professioanl basis.

To help you through your period of mourning.......2005-02-24

A dear friend bought me this book within days of me losing my husband to cancer. We all have different ways of dealing with death, and as a young widow of 33, this book was an important piece in the process of helping me confront my grief.

I would leaf through the book and randomly select a page that matched the way I was feeling on that particular day. I'd pick up a train of thought, a memory, an emotion; and I'd begin to write, and write, and write, until I felt I'd expressed as much as I could, until I'd released tiny pieces of guilt, anger, despair, loneliness. Angel Catcher became a positive vehicle for catharsis; a record of my transition from searing grief and sadness to a place of healing and great peace.

I have since bought this book for friends who have suffered their own losses. For me, it was a compassionate and constructive channel for dealing with bereavement, and I am very grateful for the comfort it brought me.

May the book continue to bring light and hope to others in need.

Journaling.......2003-11-26

I use many journal books depending on what I want to write about on a particular day.
I use the blank pages in this book to write special memories as I remember them; things I don't want to forget.
I use Write From Your Heart, A Healing Grief Journal, which is faith based to give me spiritual comfort. In this journal I write about my feelings and how I am coping and healing as I learn to deal with my loss. I am finding comfort.
I recommend both books because they are different and healing.
I use a regular journal to write about my children.

This journal was purchased as a gift for someone and they love it. I would buy it for people in the future who have just lost a loved one.

Just perfect for my little granddaughter .......2007-05-31

My granddaughter who is 3 years old suddenly lost her father (my son) in January 2007 and this little journal is going to be just perfect for her to remember him - it is even better than I expected.

Helpful, healing guide for kids.......2007-03-09

The worst part of losing a loved one is the scary thought that you'll forget them. This is a helpful aid in keeping important memories alive. Helping kids know that they can continue on...

ANGEL CATCHER FOR KIDS: A JOURNAL TO HELP YOU REMEMBER THE PERSON WHO DIED.......2005-08-24

This book is a vital resource for children aged 5-10years old. Often when there is a loss in the family, the children are usually the last persons we look to share how they are feeling about the loss. As adults we try to shelter them and not "upset" them by whispering or not talking about the loved one who died. This confuses children as they often wonder why everyone is acting so different around them. This book helps kids to put their very own feelings into words.

Must buy for a grieving child.......2004-11-29

I just bought this book and I would call it phenomonal! My kids will love using it to remember their beloved cousin. I highly recommend it to parents of kids who have lost someone close to them. It is sort of like a scrapbook with lots of room for journaling. It will be a treasure and keepsake for life.

Learn before you Urn.......2007-03-15

Benjamin Franklin once said, "In this world, nothing is certain but death and taxes. At least now, thanks to the internet, death doesn't have to be as expensive.

According to AARP, the average funeral in the United States can easily reach $10,000 once a burial plot, flowers and other costs are included.

Educated consumers are no longer in the dark about how the funeral industry works. Big conglomerates are mercilessly buying up family-operated homes with their eyes solely on the bottom-line. Caskets alone average a 600% mark up. They may be the last example of a legal monopoly left in the United States. Mourners are literally gauged, as they haven't the time or presence of mind to comparison shop.

It has always been tradition to call upon the neighborhood funeral parlor, cemetery or monument dealer when a loved-one passes. But, due to the internet, that traditional is starting to change.

MonumentsInStone is the sister company of Interstate Granite, a family-owned, monument manufacturer that has been in business in the Atlanta area since 1916. They have recently launched a website, offering granite headstones, bronze markers and crematory products at a fraction of their retail price. "We have been there." Say the owner, Robert Womac. "And, we want to right an industry-wide wrong."

MonumentsInStone supplies headstones and memorials directly to the consumer. Although cemeteries might not like this, they have to, by law, accept a stone from an outside source. The savings have been a blessing for many customers.

The Funeral Consumers Alliance has many tips that should be followed when planning a funeral. They told us that savvy consumers need to shop around for a grave marker or monument. The Better Business Bureau also warns to resist high-priced sales pitches from funeral industry vendors. They should treat you with compassion; not pressure you.

Perhaps, asking a friend or neighbor to work the phones or search the net would be a good idea. Even a check on Ebay has produced a number of beautiful choices. I found an elegant, Granite Companion Monument for a third of the price my funeral parlor was pitching. A Tombstone on Ebay? I emailed the highest bidder to find out why. "I'm sorry," He told me. " I see no reason to pay top dollar because of some outdated

Last Wishes Book Is Very Helpful.......2001-01-31

I purchased a copy of this book for my elderly mother who has been talking about planning ahead for her own funeral. This book is loaded with information about funerals and funeral homes, many things that we were unfamiliar with. In particular, she liked the detailed appendix with all those biblical phrases and the facts about different flowers. I liked the forms in the back of the book that helped her to become organized and share information with me, that I never would have known about. An excellent resource for anybody who wants to preplan a funeral themselves.

Last Wishes.......2000-11-21

Found this book to be not only educational but also in a format easily understood. I purchased several copies for my family and friends.

Doug brings his best discussions about loss to this book and then provides blank pages following each chapter for the reader to respond, reflect and journal.

Book a must for all churches.......2000-03-28

The Bereavement Ministry is a must for all churches. The text contains guidelines and suggestions for dealing with a variety of grief situations: suicide, still births, natural deaths, tragic deaths, teen deaths, just to list a few. I recently used the book when a teenager in our church was killed in an accident. We were able to give the teens information about greif and how it might be manifested. We were able to give the parents information about how their children might experience grief and how the two groups could work together for a healthier mourning process. The book also contains samples of follow-up letters that can be sent to those in mourning. There are twelve letters, one for each month of the year following the death of a loved on. As a pastor, I wish I never needed this book, but reality is that death happens and this book is worth the cost to help our people mourn and handle grief.

Product Description

Nowhere is it written that a company, regardless of how large it is or how successful it might seem to be, will survive. There have been too many highly visible and painful reminders of this fact over the last several years. While many of these companies fall apart seemingly overnight, the reality is that the decline is a process that usually takes several years and results from a number of actions, decisions, and behaviors that contribute to the demise. The purpose of this book is to present the warning signs of organizational decline, and provide a method for leaders to identify and eliminate them before the organization enters a death spiral. It provides detailed explanations of each warning sign, including an explanation regarding how the sign contributes to the decline, and also an assessment tool to determine the existence and extent of the signs within an organization. The principles and concepts present are equally applicable to healthcare, manufacturing, or service organizations. Contents: Part One: The Corporate Death Spiral Chapter One: The Corporate Death Spiral Part Two: The Warning Signs Chapter Two: Lost Purpose Chapter Three: Number Obsession Chapter Four: Supplier Squeezing Chapter Five: Undervalued Employees Chapter Six: Dirt, Clutter & Damage Chapter Seven: Operational Fragmentation Part Three: Addressing the Warning Signs Chapter Eight: Improving the Organization Appendix I: The Assessment Appendix II: Statistical Process Control Appendix III: Quality Function Deployment Appendix IV: Organizational Reflection Glossary

Longtime Friend.......2006-03-09

I bought this journal and three self-help books for my husband just before we put down my husband's dog, Granger of 16+ years. My spouse and Granger were true best friends. Me and the other dogs came later in life. So Granger was a large part. This journal is the only book that I bought that he liked and that has helped him in the grieving process. This book helped when nothing else could. So I recommend it highly.
