this should really be a zero star rating. I paid $ 17 for a summary of a workbook?! - The reviews and summaries of this book leads the reader to believe that the information and healing exercises are in the book he or she is buying. After reading the 22 page book, i find it is an overview of workbook that is sold separately. i havee thrown away $17 if can not persuade amazon to refund my money.
***buyer beware

Already written in it. - I waited for this book and then when I recieved it there was writing with a pen in it. I am a substance abuse specialist and I need to make copies of this book for some of my clients and I can't. I was very disappointed and I was not able to return because my husband opened the box and threw all paper work away.

The Healing Journey Through Grief; Your Journal Through Reflection and Recoveru - I purchased this book three times, the first was when my sister passed; but,I never used it for grieving for her. However, my daughter recently passed and I picked up this book in my bookcase at a most crucial time in my life. I won't go through the obvious emotions, but, I will say that this book was everything I could hope for. I write a lot, and journalism is productive for me, it helps me to sort, visibly, through the mess.
I again purchased this edition for a close friend when his mother passed and I am hoping that he will find the comfort that I have through the research and writing process.
And, ultimately, I purchased a third copy for an impending death of another family member because I realize that, with time, my thoughts being structured through guidance in this book will once again bring me comfort. The control over such situations is not ours, the result, is. Additionally, should something happen to me, my family can know my purest thoughts and how I worked through the pain and anguish, leading them to a resource to help them to become stronger individuals.

Wonderful, wonderful book - I used this journal 7 years ago after losing my 31 year old brother. I have since recommended it to anyone I know who has suffered a loss. In addition to grief counseling, I think this was the single most effective tool for beginning to put my life back together. I still have the completed journal and go back from time to time and realize how far I have come. I would highly recommend this wonderful book!

Work your way through Grief - This, obviously, is not a book to just read. It is indeed a workbook and everyone will go at their own pace. It is hard to give it a "book review" because it is a work in progress. Based on the amount I have already done and looking ahead I like the book, because it does have a lot of questions and "food for thought" to work through the pain of losing loved ones. Writing it out is the journaling process and gives one an opportunity to address issues we may not even have thought of. I would recommend this book, even though I thought it was a bit pricey.
