Thank you, Kids Can Press, for the ARC.

I feel this book should be available sooner and be more accessible everywhere.

This is one such difficult topic that adults find it uncomfortable to share and discuss but can be very detrimental if done in a seemingly insensitive way without meaning to. But the most important aspect is how to deal with it and how to process the emotions that come with grief.

There are nine main chapters defining grief, how it can make you feel and the complications that come along with. The last two chapters deal with learning on how & most importantly WHAT NOT TO DO or HOW NOT TO “HELP” others through their grief which I feel is the most important one to read and reread until we get it.

There’s a grief journal which will help you to write down what’s on your mind which you feel others will never understand. Also the note to caregivers is a must read.

This book is filled with wisdom and sense which we lack most of the time sadly.

Must read and must have recommendation from my side.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC

It was interesting. Maybe it would have helped me a few years ago, but even now I have realized something for myself. There are pictures here(!). Interesting concept and implementation. I will recommend it.

This book is the wise and compassionate friend you need when you experience grief and loss. Everyone faces loss, and everyone grieves. But grief is as unique as a thumbprint---not everyone grieves the same losses or in the same way. A Guide to Grief covers everything you need to know about death and loss that no one wants to talk about, including: What to expect in the days, months, and years after loss The different kinds of loss How to ask for help How to help a grieving friend Whether you are grieving a deathloss (the death of a loved one), or a shadowloss (the death of something not someone), there are simple exercises and helpful mantras to help you move forward in healthy ways. Grief traditions from different cultures and throughout history remind you that this is a universal experience, and you are not alone. This guide has been sensitively reviewed by experts in the field, and contains writing prompts, helpful resources, a glossary of terms, as well as a guide for caregivers. You are part of a new generation of grievers. So let's start a new way of talking about endings.
