Rainbows and Rain: Finding Comfort In Times of Loss

Grief and loss are universal experiences which are shared by all but rarely discussed openly. As a result, many of us feel alone and isolated when we are in the grip of the crushing emotions that accompany the death of someone we love. We are wholly unprepared for the barrage of bewildering behaviors, thoughts and reactions that so often follow a loss. When author Peggy Waterfall watched both parents and her life partner die within one year, she emerged with a unique perspective on the timeless experience of grief and loss. In Rainbows and Rain: Finding Comfort in Times of Loss, we learn that it is possible to find joy again, but we must first learn to grieve. We also learn that we are often unable to express to others what we are experiencing and can find ourselves at a loss to adequately convey our feelings. We want desperately to find the right words so that we can explain our strange behavior to our families, our co-workers, our friends. This book helps us to understand the importance of being patient with ourselves and is the first step in healing.

5You Aren't Alone  Nov 28, 2005
By J. Cockrell
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.

5Someone who gets it!  Nov 09, 2005
By Polly Basore
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.

5Rainbows and Rain- A book about loss  May 06, 2007
By Jane Eyre "Teresa"
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.
