A few reviews . . .
“This is the best book I have read, EVER!” - Mary
“You sir have found your calling. OMG! You have no idea what your book has just done for me.” - Jennifer
“This book made me cry so hard, and then laugh even harder. Have Kleenex ready and go pee before you start. Because you won’t want to put it down.” - Karen
“This book touched my soul. It is not just a book, it is a masterpiece.” - Kim
“WOW. WOW. WOW. Somehow this is even more powerful than your first book. It touched me in ways that I did not think were possible at this point in my journey. Real, raw, funny, heartbreaking and hopeful. This book is everything. Absolutely a must read.” - Anna
“Your book arrived yesterday. I took it out of the package and started reading it while standing by the mailbox. I never put it down. Read the whole thing standing there ! You sure have a way with words. I truly appreciate the way you have turned pain into power.” - Tina
"The perfect book for a widowed person thinking about dating again, or the person interested in dating one who has lost a spouse. Invaluable information on a relatively unexplored, complex topic." - Melody
"I fell in love with John's raw, stream-of-consciousness writing style after reading his epic "sit down and shut up" piece which is in his first book; "Widowed. Rants, Raves and Randoms". If you haven't read that one, you need to. John lost his wife Michelle way too soon, about 14 months before I lost my husband. His story and his words have been so inspiring to me and now I am dating a wonderful man who LOVES THIS BOOK! My boyfriend says that everyone who wants to date a widow/widower should read this book - he calls it his "John Polo bible". Thank you, John, for making beauty out of ashes for us." - Mary
“Holy WOWZERS. Just read the entire book in one sitting. Could not put it down!” - Caryn
"John is a gifted writer. He wrote the book I always wanted to write. After I experienced horrifically insensitive things said to me after my husband died, I wanted to create something that would be handed out to everyone in the line at the wake. If I can suggest purchasing just one book to know how you can help a grieving person, THIS would be the book. John is to the point. He provides such simple things to do or say and what absolutely never to say. If you care about the person grieving. Buy this book. It’s a quick read and your friend will appreciate your efforts." - Suzanne
"This book should be required reading for folks prior to entering a funeral home and or before speaking with those who have suffered a loss. All of John’s books are great reads and really helped me in my deepest darkest times!" - Mary Ann
