"When your Spouse Dies" by Cathleen L. Curry

[Autumn Leaves]

Chicken Soup for the Grieving Soul by Jack Canfield & Mark Victor Hansen is good. It's mostly about parents who lost a child with a few letters from people who lost a parent or sibling. I liked this quote in particular. A father writes about how he goes on after a sudden, initial attack of juvenile diabeted killed his seventeen year old son. He quotes a friend:

"If God had come to you seventeen years ago and said, 'I'll make you a bargain. I'll Give you a beautiful, wonderful, happy and healthy kid for seventeen years, and then I'll take him away.'" Tim said, "you would have made that deal in a second."And that was the deal. We just didn't know the terms.  (page 147)
