This one was a tough one to get through, it hits hard emotionally but in the best way.

The way this book made me feel is indescribable, the tinges of grief from personal loss are there, but the facts and stories laid out in this book also made me feel seen, heard and safe.

I think anyone who has experienced a significant loss should read this, hell even if you haven’t lost someone or are maybe preparing for someone’s departure. It’s a great read.

Thank you so much to Lucy Hone, PhD. for putting so much of your heart and hard work into this book and sharing it with all of us, it is truly a gift.

Huge thank to The Experiment and NetGalley for my free ebook copy of “Resilient Grieving, Second Edition”.

I received this advance review copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

It is a very thorough grief guide! I learned quite a bit. The author having a personal experience with grief is helpful.

Thank you The Experiment, LLC for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Resilient Grieving is a great book for those who feel lost in their grief. I've dealt with this very thing for years, hiding behind it, pushing it down, and trying overall to just ignore the clawing sensation that grief never seems to allow to ease up.

Learning and facing the rain in this book has allowed me to have more closure and peace for those I've lost.

As a bereavement counsellor I wanted to read this, although I was worried it might advocate a kind of forced happiness. Luckily my misgivings were unfounded. It was well written, very balanced and useful. It also contains a chapter to share with friends and family. Great book.

The author of this is a professional in the field and also has her own grief she has to address, having lost her daughter in an accident. So the book has a lot of explanations about grief, the process, etc but there is also a lot of support, with statements encouraging the reader to believe in recovery from a devastating loss. There are also exercises that you can do to assess your own situation and where you are.
As someone who picked this up because I am struggling, I think it would have been more helpful to have less information and more support and assessment. I do think a lot of people will find this helpful, though.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this
