5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read, practical, and professional help as we grieve

This book opens a way to grieve and to help those who are grieving (and stop hurting them with our good but unhelpful intentions!). The chapter titled, Grief and the Digital Era” gave extremely useful and valuable tools about such things as when to post about others’ tragedies and how to deal with seeing pictures of your lost loved one on social media. I appreciated the vulnerability of Gwendolyn throughout the book and how she weaved her experience and learnings from her difficult losses with the counsel of experts. The writing is excellent. The story is relatable. The lessons are needed and immediately applicable. I’ll be sharing this with many people.

I needed to read this. Gwendolyn pulls the shroud of mystery and misconception completely off the grieving process. This book is for EVERYONE because it gives us the right words to use and the right understanding when we want to help those who are grieving wherever they are in the grief process. Gwendolyn’s first-hand perspective also offers real and true hope for those who are grieving… it provides realistic and compassionate insight, and answers the most asked questions about getting through what is arguably the most difficult thing any of us could face. Stacks of this book should be in every hospital, hospice and every other place where people are dealing with the loss of a loved one.
