This book distills and organizes the ideas, concepts, tools, and resources that we've learned are most helpful and valuable to people grieving all different types of loss.

What’s Your Grief? Lists to Help you Through Any Loss is a great book to share with someone who's grieving. 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 anyone exactly how to manage their grief. All losses are unique; no book or theory will ever perfectly describe what someone is going through in their grief. 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.
