For Men that are grieving AND the FEMALES that love them!!! July 17, 2008

This is simply the best book on how men grieve that is out there!
If it were possible to give this book 20 stars, I would rate it at 20 stars.
Whether you're a man that's finding it hard to work through your grief, or if you're a female that's at a loss as to how to help the man you love as he grieves, this is THE book.
9 years ago, my brother in law was murdered by his own son. I watched my husband grieve for his brother with huge amounts of worry, thinking that he was stuffing his grief and anger, and simply not dealing with the whole issue. This book helped me to see that men grieve so differently at times than women do. So much so that after reading this book, I was much more at ease with how my husband, and my three boys were dealing with this huge, pain filled loss.
I cannot express how much this book not only helped my husband and boys to work through the grieving process, but how much it helped me to understand and recognize the differences in how men and women grieve.
After reading this book, I found that much of my fear and anxiety over whether or not my husband was actually dealing with his brother's death had disappeared.

I actually came to write this review because I needed to see if this book might be available here on Amazon, after hearing that my nephew is still having trouble with grief over the death of his father by his brother's hand. That shows how much of an impression this book made on me almost a decade ago.
This book is beyond invaluable to everyone out there that has suffered a loss. The best praise I can give this book is, "Buy it! You will not be disappointed!"

Recommend this book to any man who has recently experienced the death of a loved one...and to anyone who knows a man going through this. This discusses how men grieve (different then womyn)and what works for men. It provides a window to understanding the process for a man.
A must read and I recommend having him speak to your group. August 8, 2007

A must read and I recommend having him speak to your group. "Tested in reality results" that are aligned with my own experience of working with men over 10 years.

I found out about this book from my pastor. He said it would help and it did. The book offers a map of grief. It shows what it is, the path it takes, what makes it worse or better and importantly what we do to get through it. I needed a map and I got it. The best thing about this book was that it affirmed the actions that I have been taking after the death and showed me, as a man, how that was actually a way of healing. This book is a breath of fresh air compared to the more feminine you gotta "talk and cry" kinds of books. I had been getting pressure from my wife and others about not dealing with things. This book has helped me explain to them that I am indeed dealing with things but in my own way. This would be a great book for women to help them understand the men they love. Don't be confused by all of the references to "This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title." The second edition on this page IS the same as the first edition PLUS an extra section. All of the comments on this page refer to both editions. I was confused about this and checked with the publisher before buying.
A Must Read For Men Who Are Grieving May 24, 2003

Thomas R. Golden's "Swallowed by a Snake" is by far one of the best books on grief that I have ever read. And because the book is primarily geared towards those with a masculine style of grieving (activity and future-oriented), as a man, I could immediately identify with what Golden had to say.This book is very readable and could be helpful to anyone (man or woman) who has more of a masculine orientation to their grieving style. It is not biased towards any particular religios pursuasion but at the same time, could be thought of as very spiritual. I recommend it as an addition to any church, synagogue, or mosque library collection. As a reader, it was quite obvious to me that Golden "knew his stuff" when it came to the topic of masculine grief. His many years of experience in grief counseling and his own grieving process helped shape this very powerful, highly communicative, and empathetic book. I recommend "Swallowed by a Snake: The Gift of the Masculine Side of Healing" especially to readers who have been recently bereaved (either through death or some other loss). But I also recommend it to those who are revisiting a loss that might have occurred years ago. This is one of those books you probably will have trouble putting down.
