Although I enjoyed "You Can Create an Exceptional Life" by Louise Hay and Cheryl Richardson, I found the book to be rather informal and not creative or ingenuitive enough. Ms. Richardson would comment when she turned on her recorder and then would record what Louise had said. Here David Kessler is doing the same thing. I find it a turn off. The book does offer some comfort, but had I been in a place of deep grieving, I don't want to know the technicalities of when the recorder was turned on. There's a lot of "she said" going on. This is not the type of book I would expect from a woman who is a world-renowned author, lecturer, and publisher. I downloaded a book co-written by Louise Hay and Mona Lisa Schultz, and I hope that that book isn't written in the same vein as You Can Heal Your Heart and You Can Create an Exceptional Life, especially since Amazon's 7 day return policy has expired (Kindle books). This approach of when the recorder is turned on and "she said" is bit too formulaic and impersonal for me. I just expect more from Louise Hay than a formulaic approach to authoring books.
Talking about the heart is such a sacred and intimate experience, especially when it comes to grief. I am deeply disappointed with the format. It just doesn't seem appropriate.
I am not grieving, but I did read this in anticipation of grief as grief (or any kind of a broken-hearted condition) cannot be escaped as part of the human condition. As such, I realize that healing is a process so I wanted to heal my heart for past separations and be prepared for future situations. I believe Louise Hay herself said, (paraphrased loosely) doing this type of [inner] work works best when you're not under the threat of a surgeon's knife.
This book came my way providentially. My heart needed a lot of healing and letting go of old wounds.
So as Louise Hay and David Kessler would put it in the form of affirmation, all people and all situations are delivering me towards my higher good.
An easy book to read, chapters divided into short sections, gentle in its words, respectful of the matter being discussed but firm in showing the path to self-empowerment and healing.
This book deals with all that has to do with losses that clog our hearts leaving it blocked and shrivelled for years causing prolonged sadness, anger and a complete disappointment in life. An ever bleeding wound that will not let us live our life to its completeness.
It is only through thoroughly honouring our losses, live in and move through the grievance that we can slowly change our usually biased perception of what has happened. Repeated affirmations will slowly dissolve away our negative thoughts. Healing will bring us to a place where we can safely let go of pain and sorrow leaving us free to hold our love as a beacon to all that, who and what we loved and cherished in this lifetime.
The book makes no distinction between mayor or minor loss. The heart does not make that difference. Besides the classical losses of death, divorce and broken relationships of all kinds, the book dedicates a whole section on disenfranchised grief, that is that grief for which people do not feel they have a socially recognized right to grieve such as, LGBT relationships, loss of pets (a whole chapter is dedicated), abortion or miscarriages, suicide, drug/disease related deaths, loss of jobs or a kind of life that can never be again like it was before, such as cancer patients.
