Journey Through Grief

I was given this book when my daughter died in 2001. At that time I purchased copies for my surviving daughters and donated several copies to our local grief counseling group. This recent purchase was for a friend whose husband had died. This book was my lifeline during my grief journey. Whatever I was feeling on a certain day, the wisdom and guidance of this book was comforting. I would recommend it to anyone who is on this journey.

This book was introduced to me in a grief support group. I have ordered several to pass on the others who are dealing with loss.

If you liked this book, also try "The Healing Journey Through Grief" by Phil Rich. This is a self help journaling book that will help you to understand, work through, and write about your bereavement. There are other books in the "Healing Journey" series too that are worth checking out. including books (all called "The Healing Journey" and all by Phil Rich and other co-authors) including a books on journaling for individuals (The Healing Journey) and one on journaling for couples("The Healing Journey for Couples") and others ("The Healing Journey Through...") divorce, menopause, job loss, retirement, and addiction.

Highly recommended to give to people who have had a loss and are having difficulty. We used this book recently with a support group of parents who had had children in their early twenties die and were having little support by those around them. Dr. Wolfeldt has expressed feelings in an excellent way. Note the last paragraph on page 119, did this really hit home with the support group! If you have had a difficult loss or are leading a support group, I would highly recommend that you purchase and read this great book.
