The Ultimate love,a book for everyone who are grieving for their lost and can’t find anything or anyone to lean on. Written by a nurse and a loving mother Sherine Anniruth, this book is dedicated to her late son and aims to help people who are still searching for the light in the dark tunnel called sadness. “She is right” will be the words that will come to your mind during and after reading this book.

Everyone loses something or someone, death and failure are unavoidable. However, it doesn’t mean that you will let your life fade just like your happiness. There are ways of getting your life again without forgetting the memories of your love, it may take some time and effort but so is everything like Anniruth believe.

The genuineness of her words that comes from her nature as a mother and as a nurse shows that she cares about people and she wants to help them to have a better life. Her advices are based on reality, and when I say reality it means that everything takes time, it is not “I want it now, I get now”. The point of view emanates from her experience so every word from her is true, encouraging and directly speaking to the reader. “The worst part of dealing with grief is dealing with it alone” words that come from a nurse and a mother who sees pain more than anybody knows.

Anniruth also talks about her son and how their part, but her highlight is how the parting becomes the reason of her writing this book. One of her argument is, if it is better to take this pain all alone or share it with someone around you. She keeps on saying that dealing with it alone makes it worse, but she can’t also guarantee the help of telling it to anyone as she believes that not everybody can understand your pain. She is looped to that thought until she admits that she, herself are not over with it either.

Everyone has their own way of dealing with their problems. Her goal is to help and as a person who also loss someone special I find her words convincing. The way she tells her story makes me feel the sadness and the happiness she felt throughout the process. She wants her reader to know her story, she wants them to learn from it.

The title may sound like a typical love story, but no, it is more than that, it was deeper. Rating? 3 out of 4 I wouldn’t change the way she close her book and I like how meaningful she started and ended it, but I felt the disappointment when she admits that she is not until now, over with it. Overall, the mood of this story and the delivery is the reason why I like this book a lot, it is like a friend who tell her story to a friend who needed it the most, it is very straightforward and so warm.

******
The ultimate love
