This gorgeous picture-book meditation on loss and family love is a useful tool for children navigating a first experience with death. When a family member or another loved one becomes ill, one of the scariest aspects of their sickness is the way they may change, both physically and in spirit. The feeling of loss can come so early as the person becomes more difficult to recognize. It's a hard thing for anyone to understand, and especially so for a child. This book offers a helpful visualization of a sick person's essence as a friendly creature who remains strong and warm, even as the illness progresses. The creature is always around and never tries to cheer the child up, but only serves to keep them company. Caroline Wright and Willow Heath clearly understand that, like the creature, a book cannot "fix" a painful situation or even make it a little better. Instead they simply reflect the pain of loss back to the reader and help them understand that they are not alone.

Am I with the right person? Will our love last? Men and women in love are haunted by these questions. Love -- especially why it blossoms in relationships and why it later dies -- is a mystery to them. Will Our Love Last? A Couple's Road Map solves this mystery by giving readers a new understanding of love -- an understanding they can actually use to evaluate the soundness of their relationships and to answer confidently the crucial questions that mystified them before. Based on hundreds of cases in his twenty-four years as a marital therapist and twenty-nine years in his own happy marriage, Sam R. Hamburg, Ph.D., explains how compatibility is the key to lasting love. He shows how compatibility on three major dimensions -- the Practical Dimension, the Sexual Dimension, and the Wavelength Dimension -- is essential to the mutual understanding and affirmation that keep love alive, and he leads readers through a simple but systematic procedure for assessing their compatibility with a romantic partner in these crucial relationship areas. Dr. Hamburg introduces a new technique, The Hand Rotation Exercise, to help readers express their degree of compatibility and then convey that visually to their partner. In addition, he presents two new original techniques for working through relationship conflicts and coming to agreement on difficult issues: His Way/Her Way and The Long Conversation. Written in a clear, direct style that is free of jargon, Will Our Love Last? empowers readers to make important relationship decisions that are intellectually and emotionally informed. Will Our Love Last? will help couples trying to decide if they should take the next step to a more committed relationship. It will aid individuals embarking on a new relationship, or who are between relationships, to evaluate the rightness of a new or prospective partner. And it will assist people who are already in committed relationships to make an honest assessment of their prospects for happiness with their current partner. People have it in their power to make sure that they truly are with the right person. Will Our Love Last? shows the way.

This is a must and essential book to have - "Le Meilleur" (the best). There is power in the words and gestures of Bernardo. It is impossible to read his work without being moved. He pours himself out before you and in your own heart you experience immediate contact and warmth. He transports you to a purer region, from which dogmas and mysteries descend. He loosened his words like arrows from the bow and his whole heart seems to fly with them. The pathetic, the profound, the sublime are side by side with the simple and the ordinary. What is most divine in the heart of a man cannot be expressed in writing. Yet this writer did. It has depth; it convicts. It causes one to re-evaluate oneself. Yet, dira la verite est beate (to tell the truth is beautiful). -Jean Paul (Screenwrite, Nice, France) A very thought provoking book to say the least. As Bernardo Leonard points out with sometimes painful clarity, there is no greater power on earth than love. The merging of earthly Love and theological support of that Love is accomplished without undue and unneccessary presure to "convert". Instead, the pressure exerted upon the reader is to "think"; hence thought provoking. As much as I tried to disagree with him on certain issues of forgiveness, I knew in my heart that Bernardo was right. We can fool some of the people some of the time, fool all of the people all of the time, but we can never fool ourselves at any time. When you know the truth in your heart, you know the truth. Period. To err is human; to forgive is divine. So much of humanity is so far removed from divine; reading and digesting this book will bring them closer. The reader can identify with each of Bernardo's Love filled and Love driven chapters, because every human being is in search of ONE thing, and only one thing --- LOVE. Some run the race claiming it's money or fame they are after; others claim this and still others claim that. Every one of us understands that the reason we lives is to Love and be Loved. Thank you Bernardo for putting these truths to paper. -Stan Brushwood (Tucson, Arizona)

Most couples — because they watch so many of their peers divorce and are themselves the products of failed marriages — don't have many successful long-term-relationship role models. Parenting and communication issues are perennial, while some challenges, like increasingly 24-7 work lives and economic hardships, mark the current decade. Despite all this, psychotherapist and clinical social worker Marcia Naomi Berger asserts that most couples can make love last — they just need to learn how. Berger answers this need with a deceptively simple prescription: have an interruption-free thirty-minute (or even shorter) meeting each week and follow an agenda that includes the kind of appreciation and planning for fun that foster intimacy and pave the way for collaborative conflict resolution. Berger has refined these techniques while working with hundreds of couples — with results that are both practical and profound.
