5 stars (ON GRIEF AND GRIEVING) - A profoundly wise, helpful and comforting book -- a magnificent achievement -- The best book I have read on the subject of loss. ON GRIEF AND GRIEVING provided greater understanding and meaning at an especially difficult time. This is a heartfelt rave and sincere recommendation. 5 stars (Excellent Book) - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and David Kessler do an excellent job of taking a very difficult subject and breaking it down into its component parts. This book has been giving me a better understanding of what grief is, why we must go through it, how to do it, what is healthy, and what is not. This book will be on my list to give to close friends and family members when they go through a loss of a loved one. I cannot praise this book enough. All I can say is that I am very grateful that somebody wrote it and did an excellent job at that. 5 stars (THE PERFECT GIFT FOR DIFFICULT TIMES) - I have never known what to do when someone I care about has do deal with the unfortunate reality of death. Sending flowers that will die in a few days doesn't feel right. And they often have flowers from the funeral anyway. This book is so tenderly written and so easy to read that it makes the perfect gift when a card is too little for a family member, friend or co-worker you care about. ...

5 stars (An unbelievably touching book) - I originally bought this book for the sole reason that Marian and i were childhood friends who grew up on the same street together in Staten Island. I knew of Dave's death shortly after 9/11 and kept Marian and her family in my thoughts daily. I knew Marian was gifted but was totally unprepared for how much this book would touch me and change my life. I now view the people i love in a different way. Her book was beautiful and so well written. I felt like i can somewhat understand what all of these brave people went through both firefighters and their families, in the wake of 9/11. 5 stars (More than a Memoir) - To be honest, I am generally not a fan of memoirs of this type. I mean yes this is a woman who suffered a profound tragedy but does this mean she can write? Well, after devouring it's nearly 450 pages in a couple of sittings, I think it can be said, that Marian Fontana is a writer. A damn good one. She deserves not only to have her story told but to tell it herself. This is both an honest and humorous look at the grieving process as well as a fascinating piece of history. Fontana's account of how she and her some of her fellow widows organized and stood up not only for 911 victims and their families, but for firemen themselves, gives us an inside look at just how these men who perform the most dangerous and lauded of work, are basically treated like crap. There is something very special about this book and just how close it puts you to the incredilby profound grief that enveloped Ms. Fontana's life. Yet, I never really felt sorry for her because I don't think she allows the reader to do that. She is a strong person yet she admits her flaws, thus making her even stronger. This is a must read for anyone interested in 9-11 as well as anyone interested in grief, love and loss. 5 stars (Sharply observed and moving) - One of the memorable images seared into the world's consciousness on September 11, 2001 was ...
