Grief is accessed in so many different ways. Kimberly doesn't minimize the experience of navigating and provides stories that empower and engage.

This was a very good book at a hard time for me to read, but the perfect moment. Sharply and concisly written and talking about secondary loss as well. I expect to return to this again and again when I need to.

I didn't find this book as effective for me as other books on grief and loss. It just didn't speak to my own experience, although I am sure others might find it helpful.

Almost everyone these days is dealing with grief and loss, which encouraged me to pick up this book so I know best how to navigate these emotions. "Navigating Grief and Loss", by Kimberly Brown, gives 25 practices to deal with these feelings. I didn't realize that this book would be so deeply rooted in Buddhism when I requested it, but did find some helpful advice in this book. The book ends with some meditations and mantras, which some might find helpful.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Quick, provocative advice from an eastern perspective on how to cope with grief and loss. Provides concrete strategies and supporting cases to illustrate a wealth of possible issues and challenges associated with grief and loss. An ideal guidebook for professionals who deal with death as part of their work, but also a welcome read for those who want to proactively think about how they might deal with issues of grief and loss.

This is a powerful addition to the literature on grief and loss from the spiritual lens of Buddhism. As someone who is still learning about Buddhist philosophy and practice I gleaned so much from this book. I enjoyed the meditations and prayers in each chapter and the clinical distinctions made between prolonged grief, complicated grief and the many ways grief and bereavement can look for folks seeking healing and peace- among these noted are psychotherapy, pastoral guidance, and formal grief counseling. There are so many great resources included within the resources section as well. This book is a great self help selection or addition to the book shelf of any mental health practitioner. Thank you to the author and publisher for the ARC copy.
