I lost my brother in September 2020 in a tragic accident. He was only 28 years old. I was already going to regular therapy and felt that I really didn't want to go to a grief counselor. I saw this book on Amazon and the reviews were incredible. I can see why. Joanne has compiled a group of stories that were so touching. I felt like I was in a group therapy session by reading this book. It was very relatable for me because the author went into her specialized field because of a loss of someone close to her. I'm grateful for this book and would recommend it to anyone in the grieving process or to anyone wanting to help a friend or loved one through the grieving process.
