Reviews

"Von Kopfman suffered the tragic loss of his son, and has turned that loss into a positive gain for everyone who has had a similar tragedy and needs to heal. His book is an inspiration to anyone with a family to appreciate what you have in good times and bad. Von's resilience is remarkable, but better than that, it is transferable - to you." -Jeffrey Gromer, author of The Little Gold Book of YES! Attitude
"Von Kopfman's Letters for Healing is a gift for those struggling to cope with the heartbreak of losing a loved one, and the unimaginable range of emotions that tragedy provokes. Through these letters, a man who suffered and grew through tremendous tragedy has created a community where anyone can go for support and solace. Von shared his story, inspired others to share theirs, and created a unique treasure that will comfort many survivors for years to come." -Lynn Jenkins, former member of the U.S. Congress
"Letters for Healing is an extremely compelling read. Shared losses are healing, and vivid descriptions of memories, experiences, and connections... are absolutely priceless. The loss of this connection, the missing smiles, simple gestures and innocent 'Hellos' and 'Good-byes' no longer there, are what we love and cherish about all our most valuable relationships. Letters for Healing is about this deeply-seeded love and connection. This helps survivors, and fills all of us who have ever loved someone... with humility, a deep realization of our blessings, and gratitude. Thank you, Von, for all you do. Your compassion and empathy inspires us to be better and stronger versions of ourselves, every day." -Craig Garber, host of the the Everyone Loves Guitar podcast and YouTube channel and author of How To Make Maximum Money With Minimum Customers
