- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I think this book would be especially helpful for those facing the first holiday season after the loss of someone they love. I was hoping for some more ideas for incorporating them into traditions, but as a whole I think it was an important reminder (for everyone) to take a breath and respect your energy level and your emotions instead of powering through and doing things “just because” that’s how they’ve always been done.
