Three things about this book that stand out:

1. The authors have a unique writing style which makes it feel like they are people you know well, who are talking to you about life at a dinner table. 

2. You can open the book anywhere and start reading without losing the gist of what the authors are saying. The hundreds of topics are written in an independent way that makes it easy to read any one of them without missing anything that the authors are trying to communicate. There are plenty of proverbs, quotes, and deep philosophical insights into each topic. (the topics are not more than 2-3 pages long).

3. The most striking thing about the book is the way in which the authors address each and every subject. They talk about things that most of us have been taught not to discuss in public. Some of their statements sound like cliches, but somehow the authors manage to keep the words in each topic interconnected and not out of place.

One of the most directly helpful books on the subject of loss ever written. The first edition of this comforting and inspiring book, which was published in 1976, sold nearly two million copies. This completely revised and expanded edition encompasses not only the medical and psychological advances in the treatment of loss but also the authors' own experiences.

From the Back Cover
Robin Norwood's international bestseller Women Who Love Too Much changed forever the way we think about love. Now, in Why Me, Why This, Why Now?, she takes her readers – women and men – on a deeper journey into the realm of the Spirit and offers a revolutionary perspective on adversity that addresses our deepest and most disturbing questions, like 'Why is this happening to me?', 'What is the point of pain?' and 'What is my body trying to tell me?'

By teaching us to recognize the soul's purpose behind our encounters with adversity, Robin Norwood empowers us to cooperate with our own destiny, live a far more effective life, and heal the deepest wounds of the heart.
