Mommy, Please Don't Cry: There Are No Tears in Heaven Book Review

Mommy, Please Don't Cry: There Are No Tears in Heaven
By Linda Deymaz
I personally own this book and really like it. It is meant for mothers who lose a young child. It was written by a mother who lost her daughter in 1995. She writes a beautiful dedication letter to all mothers who have lost a child. The book describes what heaven is like and how wonderful it is. The only thing I don’t like is the implication that mothers should not cry. I personally feel that mothers sometimes (depending on the person) need and have to cry to release their grief. But at the same time, this book may bring comfort to you in the thought of your child in such a wonderful place. It also includes a journal at the back of the book for recording thoughts about your child.
Please note that it is a Christian book and has references to the Bible and so forth. Religion is sometimes a touchy subject with the grieving!!!
