This would be much better for someone who has recently lost a loved one or gone through something traumatic. I don't really relate to it as much as I would have been when I lost my Grampie in the sixth grade

Grief is a very powerful thing. It's really hard to get through it. Each person handles it differently and that's ok. This book really helped me get through my parents death. It's a great book for those that have lost a loved one.

Really loved how this book lets you know its OK to grieve however you want.

Love how this story gives you permission to grieve any way you need to.

I found this book hard to review, as the author states every person’s grief is different. I thought it was very well written.
My father passed away not that long ago so I wanted to read something that could help me process what I was feeling. The author hits the nail on the head when she said the way we deal with grief is broken; this rang so true for me.
I loved how he book was set out in a way you can read all at once or dip in and out when there is a particular subject your struggling with. The author is straight talking and describes some of the feeling I had around my father’s death perfectly.
This book is different from your normal self-help guides; it touches on the side of grief we don’t always want to face.

I have to add a quote from this book to sum up my feelings on grief and how I felt I connected with this book.
“Our culture sees grief as a kind of malady: a terrifying, messy emotion that needs to be cleaned up and put behind us as soon as possible”.
This is very true and this book shows it doesn’t have to be this way.

Thank you to Netgalley for my ARC, I will be recommending this book to other family members who are also struggling to make sense of their own grief.
