A Touching and Uplifting Journey Through Grief and Mourning

My wife recently passed away after a three year battle with breast cancer. I bought this book because I'd read Bill Bridges' earlier books and found them insightful and refreshing. But I was totally unprepared for my personal connection to this particular book, which was written after Bill lost his wife through an almost identical struggle with cancer. It was as if he was telling my story and then helping me to both get through my own deep sadness and make some sense out of the painful process of mourning and grieving. This book does deal with transitions but it deals with much more and does so with great openness, sensitivity, and wisdom. I strongly recommend it to anyone dealing with the process of grief for the loss of a loved one. I learned far more from this book than I learned from any of the many books specifically written on that subject.

Having read all of Bill Bridges books I came to this with the expectation that I would gain additional insight into managing transitions, especially that ever recurring and potentially most uncomfortable "neutral zone." My expectation was not only met, but exceeded, as I could sense the very deep emotional level that Bill had to reach in order to write about his own most personal transitions. This is a book of courage and anyone who reads it cannot help but be moved. In using his own experiences, Bill provides the reader guidelines to managing transitions in their own lives. That is a gift!

The Way of Transition

I was familiar with Bridges' Transition work in a corporate setting -- but this book brought "transitions" to a much more personal level. He put words to the confusion and feelings that I had been grappling with myself. William Bridges has written an important resource to living more consciously as we move through life's phases of death and rebirth. This is a wonderful book particularly for those faced with "life's most difficult moments".

An inspirational, touching, and soulful book

Bridges work is valuable from so many perspectives. Reading it is embarking on a journey through the lens of a expert in transition. Or one can say an ordinary man touched by a deep loss, or a friend reaching out to others by sharing his pain, or as a mentor/healer allowing others to re-live his personal journey and in doing so, discover and make new meanings on their own journey. As a Ph.D. student whose focus of research and future dissertation will be on career crisis, transition and renewal, Bridges work further validates my own personal/professional transitions as journeys of learning and discovery, and openness to the "neutral zone". One of the very best books I have read in this subject area.
