"My Life Closed Twice" is one of the best books I have read dealing with the anguish of loss of loved ones.In Ms. Schocket's case, the loss was a double one: husband and son within 24 hours.How anyone could cope with such a one-two punch is almost beyond comprehension.But Ms. Schocket does it superbly well - with courage, honesty, candor and completely devoid of self pity.What she has achieved is a book that provides great comfort to those who need both support and inspiration as they, too, travel a simliar road.There is very little in grief literature on double loss.Ms. Schocket's book is an important and essential contribution on that subject.It is a "must" read for anyone who seeks a path to a meaningful life without their loved one.Having lost my own 36 year old son, I felt that someone had taken me by the hand and put a comforting arm around my shoulder after reading "My Life Closed Twice".Life goes on, albeit differently.Ms. Schocket's book shows us how and somehow puts it all in perspective.

My Life Closed Twice is a non-fiction work of great depth and emotion chronicling the life of one woman following the deaths of her husband and son within 24 hours of each other. Told with hope and humor, this inspirational story says something about how an ordinary person survives extraordinary tragedy-without drugs, psychiatry, or a nervous breakdown. Interweaving episodes from her past, author Sandra Klamkin Schocket speaks to readers who must build new lives, not just in response to death, but after divorce, illness, or loss of job or home.
