What's Your Grief? Lists to help you through any loss

What’s Your Grief? Lists to Help you Through Any Loss is for people experiencing any type of loss. This book discusses some of the most common grief experiences and breaks down psychological concepts to help you understand your thoughts and emotions. It also shares useful coping tools, and helps the reader reflect on their unique relationship with grief and loss.

We can’t tell you exactly how to manage your grief. All losses are unique; no book or theory will ever perfectly describe what you are going through as someone grieving a loss. However, we can use everything we’ve learned after a decade of writing about grief, and our usual down-to-earth approach, to help grieving people better understand their experiences and find ways to cope with the day-to-day struggle of living with grief. 

If you’re a regular reader of What’s Your Grief, the decision to approach grief and loss through bite-sized lists should be no surprise. Although grief is immensely complicated, our philosophy has always been that the best way to cope is often one step at a time. And when we say “list,” we mean all sorts of informative, nuanced, and creative approaches like interactive lists, bucket lists, not-to-do lists, and more.

What’s Your Grief? Lists to Help you Through Any Loss is available in hardcover, Kindle, and Audio formats. Find it at the following retailers:

Testimonials

I love this little book! I bought it after losing my support animal of 6 years, and while most books seem to be directed at grief towards losing a family member or spouse, it was still very real to lose my assistance animal and I love that this book considers ALL types of grief: loss of family or spouse, loss of pet, and nontraditional grief like loss of ability due to becoming older or disabled, loss of a job or a dream career, etc. I love the list format, it does NOT read like a textbook at all and is good for any level of knowledge. This book is for anyone who has lost something in their life.

After following “what’s your grief” I was thrilled to read they were putting out a book. This is a perfect gift for anyone who is grieving the loss of pretty much anything, from a pet, a human, a divorce, etc.… It is useful, down to earth and good for anybody grieving anything! It is not preachy – good for any denomination as well as atheists and agnostics. Even if you are not grieving, it is a (dare I say) fun and informational read.

I’m so grateful for the wisdom and support the authors share on so many levels. This book has helped me reevaluate and realize how important it is to understand how and what the impact of the losses have had on my life in all areas. Much gratitude always.
