Reading has taught me that I am not alone.
Every self-help book and website I could find about childhood abandonment. Kept me alive.

Yes, reading books do help you to get through your loss. I have several books that I have used in the past, and still do refer to them even now.
A PTSD handbook helped me and gave me insights to the disorder. It made me feel less alone and it was helpful to see that a lot of people have similar experiences after traumatic events.
Helps with learning and understanding. Also helps to focus on other things besides the memories.
