Mourning Has Broken
Copyright 2013.
The loss of her parents and sister inspired author and blogger Carol Balawyder to write the essays in this collection. She writes about her relationship with the loved ones she lost. Other pieces focus on such topics as travel, online dating, religion, and, of course, mourning.
Having lost my parents, grandparents, and husband, I can identify with the feelings the author expresses, especially the guilt at not having done more for her loved ones before they passed. If you are grieving and have similar feelings, this book should help you understand you’re not alone. If you’re suffering from a recent loss, be sure you have plenty of Kleenex handy when you read it.

I am re-blogging this wonderful book review, Abbie. I love the title of this book – reminds me of 2 things from the past. First, a favorite hymn I loved to sing in our church growing up. Second, the beautiful song by Cat Stevens. So this is a triple-win as a title for such a great book.
Thank you for sharing this with us all. We can see ourselves as victims of our losses or as not victims of our losses. This book is certainly inspiring and uplifting.
