I am a huge fan of Theresa's, so I was really excited about this book. I fear death, and the death of loves ones, so I find a lot of comfort in what she does. A book was obviously the natural procession in Theresa's life, and I really enjoyed reading it.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. I have watched a lot of the Long Island Medium show and thought this would be an interesting read. This is a good read about different kinds of loss. I skimmed and did not read it straight through.

I’ve always seen ads for Theresa’s show and meant to watch but never did. In reading her book I think I got a deeper more personal look. I can say that there is no better timing for this book. I will read anything she puts out and will make it a point to check out her show.

Thank you to the Publisher and Netgalley for the advanced e-reader copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

I have always been fascinated by the New Jersey Psychic dubbed the Long Island Medium. She seems like a fascinating person. So, when this book came up to review, I jumped on it. Little did I realize that my own mother would pass away in the meantime. I found this book hard to read when I was in the midst of my struggles. But once I had some distance a few months later (like four months later) I found this book quite a comfort.

Theresa gives us a lot of great ideas in here that really hit home hard for me. If you are going through something, this definitely has a lot to offer and suggest. I loved how many avenues this book went into and get get a great glimpse into her life as well to show us that we are not alone and we can move forward when things knock us on our butts.

I will definitely look for more books written by this great lady in the future!

I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.

I have been to see Ms. Caputo’s live show several times and I have always been blown away. GOOD MOURNING is the first book from her that I’ve read. While I wasn’t as blown away, it was interesting. While I didn’t truly connect with the first half of the book, she gave good advice that I’ve tucked away in case I ever need it. It wasn’t until the second half of the book that I really connected with it. Once she started talking about losing your youth and learning to deal with an empty nest, I was all in.

Good Mourning by Theresa Caputo is an insightful and inspiring read with everything going on in the world right now.

I absolutely love Theresa Caputo. Even if you do not believe in mediums, this is a great book. She goes into "spirit" but she focuses on how this helps you. It felt as if you were having coffee with Theresa. Each chapter is a new way of mourning something you have lost, like she has (divorce, torn ACL, not wanting to leave her house, among other things). This is definitely a book I would relate back to for different life events. I lost my dad at the end of last year, so when I saw this book, I was like perfect! I was shocked that it would help me with losing other things as well. Theresa is just so personable and down to earth. She ends each chapter with a little exercise on what you can practice from that chapter. I will definitely be buying this book for my mom to read as well. Thank you Netgalley for the ARC.

With everything going on in the world right now I thought this would be a good book to help me cope with the madness. It seemed perfect for this uncertain moment in time. But after reading a few chapters, I realized it wasn’t resonating with me. Honestly and unfortunately, I found it somewhat depressing.

I know this was not the desired outcome Theresa was aiming for when writing 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠. I understand it is meant to provide comfort and solutions for challenging times. However, seeing all of the things one can lose compiled together in one book was overwhelming. It made my anxiety rise. There were losses mentioned in this book that I never even thought of before.
⠀
I did appreciate the layout of the book. Each chapter addresses a different loss. Some of the chapters include the loss of:
A friend
A Spouse (Separation or Divorce)
Faith
Control
Health
Independence
Home
Job
Body Part
Stability
Youth
Identity
𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴.
⠀
The chapter that hit me the hardest was the chapter on losing your youth. Because I am a woman of a certain age, I am beginning to see the affects of aging. Therefore, this is a topic that I am sensitive to. Unfortunately, I finished the chapter more concerned with aging than I was before reading it.
⠀
Each chapter ended with pretty much the same advice, which is...always find the positive in the situation. Being grateful for what you have, always makes a bad situation better. There is always something to be thankful for, even after a loss.

Now, although I didn’t gain much from this book, I still encourage those interested to read it. Just because it did not resonate with me, does not mean it will not resonate with you. You never know, there may be a lesson for you within these pages, that was not meant for me.

Good Mourning is an excellent book to read especially in 2020. The book is all about daily losses and how we all have them. These daily losses, might be the loss of your favorite ring, or a good friendship. However simple it may be I love how she states it’s still a loss and you still have to go through some sort of grieving phase over it. I think these are very helpful stories and tips to just about everyone. I also love how Theresa Caputo writes as if she were speaking to you personally and not through a book.

I received an advance copy of, Good Mourning, by Theresa Caputo. I have not read any of her boos before, but I watched her show. This book is not just a book about loss of life, but loss of daily things, losing something an object or a friend. This is a good resource for people who are grieving.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Theresa Caputo's "Good Mourning". This was my first time reading something by this author and I was very impressed by the writing style and message of the book. One of my favorite things about this book is how each chapter was dedicated to a certain topic, making it super easy to locate a topic that you're searching for. However, I read the book chronologically and found it to be enjoyable that way, too. Death isn't the only loss that we experience in life. We experience the death of our youth, marriages, independence, etc. I am confident that every reader can relate to one or more topic in this book.

I received an ARC from NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for an honest review. I have watched her show the Long Island Medium and have gotten a lot out of it. This book brings her gift to us about everyday loss. With us being in 2020 this book brought me comfort, inspiration, answers.
I could see where I had been through a loss such as financial loss and how I moved forward and the book showed me that it was how I did it that got me to where I am now. There are so many losses we go through and some we don't even think about.
I have always believed that I am never alone, there is always something there with me. I have experienced many of the things I read in the book. As I was reading the book, I found such comfort in knowing I wasn't alone, someone else understood. There were parts of the book that I thought this seems like it is somehow preparing me, This book is a gift and seems I am giving an honest review, when I looked at the cover of the book, I saw such sadness in Theresa's eyes. I thought it was going to be a difficult book to read but it wasn't, I could feel the spirit coming through her and because of that, such powerful wisdom came through.
As I said previously I have had losses and with some of the losses, it felt like I was in a tailspin, a fog, and would never make it through and this book helped me to understand that.
The only negative thing I could possibly say about this book is I wished it was already published because I can see in my head how many people are going to benefit from reading this book. You don't ever have to go through life alone and this book is going to help bring you through the losses you go through but you might find yourself saying I have heard a voice in my head during one or more of the roughest times you are going through.
This is a book I will buy and share with people who I know are going through rough times because I do think it will give them comfort just as it has given me comfort. There seems to be so much loss this year and as I am writing this review I am seeing that it will be released on October 6, 2020, and maybe that is when this year will start to turn around because people will be reading this book and it will begin to help people heal, help them see things a little clearer and with that, they take the steps to make life better.

Love Theresa! She makes me, someone in mourning, feel calm and better. I could hear her voice loud and clear through this book. A great read. And now I want to get a reading from her more than ever

Theresa Caputo, is well known for her TV show Long Island Medium. On the Show, she talks to spirits of dead loved ones. they could range from friends to family members. She has a long waiting lis because she is very popular. i can see why after watching her show and reading her books.

in this book, she talks about different types of grief and how to cope with them., Yjey range from divorce to empty nest syndrome.Along with the tips, she shares how she copes with some of the grief, and other people's story..

I loved the book, I think it was very heartfelt and educational. i am grateful that Netgalley, and the publishers let me read this in exchange for an honest review.

Ms Caputo has written a book that is very consoling and real. Anyone that lives long enough will experience the pain of loss . Whether its a parent, friend, pet, or their own decline, its inevetible. we cant get away from this fact and thats what haunts us all IMO. Including me. I read this book having read many others by mediums and psychics so I was expecting the usual. I was very wrong. Theresa has written something that feels so true and real that it has to be read to be useful. She has included something I rarely read where mediums report on something. That is God. The many cries for help she has heard are covered. Whats it like? Are they OK? Also she covers what they have to say about our own decline. Ms Caputo gave me ope after reading this. It is very interesting and covers a lot of areas. I really liked this book.

Good Mourning is a book from The Long Island Medium, Theresa.I have been to one of her events and have also read her prior books.She is amazing. Theresa explains loss by everyday things not just the loss of a loved one. It can be a lost oppurtunity, loss of a friend,a relationship,or a divorce.. With the help of the "Spirit" Teresa helps us learn to manage our daily losses. With the different stories show how to come to terms with your daily losses and recover from painful times in our lives. Then we can move through the pain of !is a and begin to heal. Thank you Net Galley for allowing me to read and review this book.As

I didn’t know what to expect reading this book. I’m glad I did. This has given me so many practical ways to help myself get through tough situations and tough moments of emotional distress.

Good Mourning is from TLC's Long Island Medium, Theresa Caputo.  If you've watched her show at all, you know that she can talk to Spirit who tells her things about the other side.  Spirit told her that a lot of people can't deal with the loss of a loved one because there are so many other loses in their lives that they don't know how to deal with, so Theresa put this book together with ways to mourn other daily loses - these can include a relationship, a friendship, being an empty nester, your job, etc.  Each chapter focuses on a different daily loss with some personal anecdotes and information from Theresa and then the end of the chapter has a "Good Mourning" recap with the recap to how you can help move through the loss.  While all of these losses may not affect me right now, chances are they will at some point so I appreciated Theresa's wisdom.

I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review, I was not otherwise compensated.

Having read Theresa Caputo's other books, I was pleased to find her latest on Netgalley. While a bit more subdued in tone than her other books, Good Mourning: Moving Through Everyday Losses with Wisdom from the Other Side offers readers common sense advice for processing the losses that all of us encounter at one time or another in nearly every area of our lives: friendships, careers, health, etc. Many times, Caputo references her own losses, particularly her recent divorce. While Caputo doesn't offer salacious detail in regard to her personal life, she recounts her experiences in a friendly and relatable way.

Caputo credits "Spirit" for her advice to readers, but most of her insights seem to come from reflecting on her own experiences with loss and those of her family, friends, and clients. There is less emphasis on communication with "the Other Side" in this book than in previous ones.

All in all, a pleasant read and a nice way for Caputo's fans to catch up with the Long Island Medium.

Full Disclosure--NetGalley and the publisher provided me with a digital ARC of this book. This is my honest review.

This book is a self help book like no other. It finally clicked that everyone suffers Daily losses and needs to grieve, even the small things. The author explains how grief isn’t only for loosing a loved one, but a friendship, a lost opportunity, even the smallest thing. This is what sets the book apart. The way it’s chapters are separated by different losses makes it easy to connect with. This can even be used as a reference book for a reminder of how to handle your loss in a certain situation.
