Rainbows and Rain- A book about loss May 06, 2007
This book is excellent, it is very sad though and you are to be warned before you buy it, you will do a lot of crying before getting to the end.

You Aren't Alone Nov 28, 2005
If nothing else, this book serves to remind those suffering from grief (of any kind) that they are not alone. In revisiting her own journey out of the abyss of grief after the losses of her parents and life partner, Ms. Waterfall gently and patiently assists the reader in dealing witih the overwhelming feelings one experiences at such a time. While no book can make the pain go away, this one feels like a loving friend giving us permission to feel all that we need to feel as we work our way towards healing, giving words to the pain in our hearts.

Someone who gets it! Nov 10, 2005
What struck me most about "Rainbows and Rain" was how well the author put words to the experience of grief. Her use of analogies like "the picture falling off the fall" -- her description of how it seems something that was ALWAYS there is now gone -- helps the reader better understand her own feelings, and provides words that articulate those feelings to others who don't get it about grief. Waterfall nails it when she says in the opening, "We don't manage grief, it manages us." This is a highly recommended read for people trying to grapple with their own emotions after loss.
