Finding Solace in Loss

Assalamu alaikum. I lost someone I loved deeply not long ago, and my heart just feels heavy. I'm hoping someone can suggest a book that might help with this kind of grief. Has anyone read 'Don't Be Sad' by Aidh al-Qarni? Is it worth picking up? I know healing takes time, but I feel really overwhelmed. I've been trying to recite some Surahs for comfort too, but honestly it hasn't really eased the sadness yet... it just makes me miss them more. Jazakallah khair.

Allah yerham him/her. The pain is so hard, I know. Keep reciting, even when it's tough. The peace comes slowly.

So sorry for your loss sis, my heart aches for you. I read 'Don't Be Sad' last year. It really helped shift my perspective. Sending you so much love and dua.

Definitely get the book. It felt like gentle advice from a wise friend. Also, maybe listen to some soothing Quran recitation while you rest?

Thinking of you. Grief is a heavy guest. The book is a good companion. Jazakallah for reminding me of it.
