This collection of inspirational stories will undoubtedly touch many hearts. Written by authors who have lost loved ones, these stories offer comfort, peace and understanding to those going through the grieving process. Individual people deal with grief in their own ways and within their own time, but the guidance and support they receive from others is what helps them through it. One of the key messages of Chicken Soup for the Grieving Soul is that togetherness and sharing are the keys to moving on. In these stories people share their experiences with coping and they share deep memories. Each one has found that putting thoughts and feelings into words is not only cathartic, it allows them to reconnect with their loved one and others. Words of encouragement are plentiful in this edition and they go straight to the heart. Chapters encompass the complete grieving experience and include: Final Gifts, the Power of Support, Coping and Healing, Those We Will Miss, Special Moments, Insights and Lessons, and Living Again. Readers will be comforted and inspired by the stories of regaining strength and hope, such as holding meaningful services, performing thoughtful deeds and cherishing special memories. Most important, just as the writers have come to appreciate life through the grieving process, readers will discover how to do the same. This soothing bowl of stories is the perfect gift to bring comfort, strength and courage.

In the book, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul on Love & Friendship, it has many
characters, basic plots, events, and settings. It tells you many different and a variety of
stories that can happen to any teenager. For example: falling in love, breaking up,
friendship, tough times, family, and growing up. Love happens to everyone around us
and is a very common thing among teenagers. You can fall in love with the wrong
person and be having tough times. Also, friendship and family problems are very
common. Everything a teenager has passed or may happen to at any time are stories
written in the book to help you understand and see that most teenagers like you have the
same problems.
This book has influent me in many ways by teaching me that everyone has problems
and we have to fight and move on. Everything happens for a reason and we just have to
accept it. We need to live life as it is and learn from our own mistakes and know we are
not perfect, we are who we are. Before reading this book, I thought differently. Now, I
know that many people pass through hard times and some with good. Life is a way to
express our feelings and live life at its fullest because we were all brought here for a
reason and we should make the most out of it.
It tells me about all people that each one of us has our own problems and we have
others to relate to. I learn about myself that I have others that have my own problems
and some are even passing through the same things I am. This book has many stories
that people around us can relate to and learn from them. If we don't make mistakes, how
can we learn from them! Everyone has their own way of thinking and that is what
makes us unique. The style of the book is written in paragraphs and chapters with
figurative language that tells many different stories.

This beautiful book was published about a year after my father passed from Alzheimer's. After writing my own book, as something to hold on to during my grieving time, I found a lovely surprise with this lovely Chicken Soup book as it comforted me and put me in that gentle healing place with the all the many contributors of this 'grief' book. I was amazed at the many synchronicities and concidences that were shared after the passing of their loved ones. For I had many heavenly experiences with my daddy as well. I felt relieved, very safe, very loved and very much belonging to this whole group of authors who graced me, the reader, with their sweetest private moments of healing. Thanks, Jack and Mark, for the beautiful stories and most perfect timing for me.
