When there Are No Words: Finding Your Way to Cope with Loss and Grief

"I have been looking for resources to share with those suffering loss. While there many good books on grief what I was looking for was something that wouldn't overwhelm folks going through the process. This little book is a quick read. More importantly, it gives voice to various experiences of the grief process from a person sensitive to the enormity of the pain and loss."

"Enthralling. Simple, direct, well written.

Charlie Walton shares valuable advice on how to be when you are with those who are grieving. He does not dwell too long on his own family's loss, but extracts and expounds on the lessons we all need to learn when facing tragedy.

Your heart will be moved and you will want to thank the author personally for touching a deep place in all of us with a deft and healing hand.

I will be recommending this one to all in my circle."

"When my son died in a car wreck 10 years ago, well meaning friends inundated me with books on grief. I read them all, looking for some magic fix. None provided that, but Walton's book provided me with honesty and empathy, not only for myself as a bereaved mother, but for everyone involved in my life. Walton describes the evolution of emotions as he lives his never ending journey of grief. He offers from his own experience all the thoughts and feelings that we as bereaved parents may not want to explore or admit about the bigger picture of life and death. And for those of us who have had to deal with a situation where there are no words, Walton uses words very well to comfort the bereaved and support them as they deal with family and friends who want to comfort them, even though they not only have no words, but also no clue as to what the bereaved parents are going through. If anyone has a friend who has lost a loved one, especially a child, when there are no words, this book is the next best thing."

"several years ago in Macon, Georgia I had the priviledge of hearing Mr. Walton give a live seminar on grief & dying. The conference room was full and we all learned much from that experience. Mr. Walton's own personal experience with grief gives the reader a true first-person account of someone who truly knows the emotions a personal goes through in the loss process. Highly recommended."
