“I Didn’t Get a Chance to Say Good-bye … Now What Can I Do?” by Rev. Oreste J. DAversa is a title that addresses one of the challenges and pains experienced by almost everyone: loss. The book offers, as the subtitle aptly suggests, practical tools to learn to manage the pain, anger, and sorrow of not achieving closure with a loved one while proposing a clear path to start living a well, balanced, and happy life. It is not a secret that those we have deeply loved take something from us when they leave us, and the grief is more intense when this happens without warning. In a voice that is compassionate, Rev. Oreste J. DAversa provides the wisdom that readers need to navigate the dark waters of grief. Readers will discover their sense of self-worth, the powerful keys to effective meditation, the healing power of letters, the hidden energy in guided imagery, and the healing benefits of connecting with nature.

I Didn’t Get a Chance to Say Good-bye is a gift of pure love, a message of hope from an Inter-Faith (All-Faiths) Minister, who shows a tremendous understanding of the pain and confusion that people experience when they suddenly lose a loved one. The writing is insightful and filled with spiritual wisdom. I particularly enjoyed the author's take on mediums and mediumship and how mediums can help readers handle stress, manage anxiety, and uncover deeper levels of self-discovery and spiritual growth. This is a book with a soothing message for anyone who has lost a loved one, a book that makes for the perfect gift for grieving souls. It is a beautiful message that is simply delivered and it comes with some beautiful prayers for funerals.
