What were my Emotions I was Going Through while reading This Book?

The news of the sudden death of someone can shake any of us. But it's the bitter truth of life that we need to accept. It's easy to say these lines, but to accept this harsh reality is almost impossible.

The first part of the book gave me goosebumps.

But the second part gave me the courage to accept and know-how can we gather the strength again to live. How we can accept the new-normal life again. But after reading this book, one in pain will start feeling better. This book contains some brilliant advice on how to accept what’s written in our destiny?

The best part about this book is that it has taught us a lesson with each chapter. It also gives a few practical exercises to analyze our problems and pain areas, where all we need to focus.

Learning From The Book:

• Some actions have to take towards healing.

• How to have your perfect day.

So, What’re You Waiting For?

The Writing style is lucid and engaging.

The author now has set an example of her inspiring journey for those who are going through the same circumstances.

This book will inspire you and give you a “new perspective towards Life”.

One can feel the pain of the author deeply and also know how she turned it into fuel for her courage. I’m sure while reading this book, you will not only feel emotionally attached but also you will feel the pain of the author.

How hard was it for her and it is still?

But believe me!

A new seed of Courage gets planted in you forever.
