Connie, Luke and Lucasta are all suffering from grief. How can a book about grieving the death of a loved one leave me feeling so hopeful? On a personal note I’m coming up on the one-year anniversary of the death of my beloved Uncle Mike, He is my mom’s younger brother and I was worried that this book would make me feel sad but it didn’t. Of course, we miss loved ones when they pass away but we needn’t worry about them, they are always with us. I know my Uncle Mike isn’t in pain any longer and he’s watching over us. That is how this book left me feeling.

Even though it is such heavy topical matter it was done in a humorous way. Loved ones reaching out while on the toilet or your dearly departed mom giving you dating advice. I never felt the author was simplifying or belittling the healing process. Have you ever lost a loved one and sat around with friends and family sharing funny stories about them and laughing? That’s what this book felt like to me.

Touching and funny with a dash of spiritual magic, Claudia Carroll wrote a poignant story about death and grieving that was actually a joy to read.
