I thoroughly enjoyed the novel Remember the Moon. Some of the emotions involved in the loss of one's spouse were definitely alive and well in Abigail Carter's descriptions. The depression and hopeless feelings were not only documented, but enlarged enough to examine objectively. I also appreciated the description of her grief group and the "new normal" that came into being in that group. Things really do change drastically within two years of a loss if one's mind is the least bit clear. Abigail even included some of the stupid things that we tend to do when we are semi-delusional about what the future holds.The descriptions of the spirit world seem to mirror many of the ones typical in The Shack and other materials I have read. Even if I don't really see how those descriptions can be validated, at least the tone of her descriptions is hopeful and positive.In all, I would definitely recommend this book for those who have "been there, done that" and even for those on the edge of that experience. Life is short and we should live it well in order to go out without regrets.
