Dr. Matero feels like a friend whose been there before and can walk us through one of the worst experiences that we could ever face. Her advice is genuine and heartfelt. Because she’s done the incredibly hard work of not giving up herself, she isn’t willing to let us and our broken hearts languish into hopelessness. Instead, Dr. Matero will pick us up and remind us that we can get through this together. From dealing with the belongings that a spouse has left behind, to finding creative ways to release the natural feelings that come with grief, we can learn to expect the unexpected in the healing process. I appreciate Dr. Matero’s heart for those who would have to follow in her footsteps. Through her book, we can feel like we have someone in our corner who understands and will patiently let us grieve in our own way and encourage us every step of the way so that we can be able to do the same for our children.
