Reviews

[Margie]

The book included a few useful pointers; I’ve read better.

[Hunter Hanson]

Very short. Very good.

[Reid]

Short, easy to understand. No "one size fits all" in understanding people's grief. People move through it differently.

Talks about the difference between "Good grief" and "bad grief"; also goes into 3 stages of grief: crisis, crucible, construction.

I found it helpful.
