I’m drawn to books about grief and loss, whether they be fiction or nonfiction. Like the author of this handbook, I believe grief is an individual journey. The Modern Loss Handbook is filled with interactive activities and thoughtful prompts. It’s a judgment-free zone, and a path you can tailor to your own needs.

Personally, I’m grateful to have this as a tool in my arsenal to help me process feelings I often keep to myself. Sometimes we can overwhelm others or even ourselves with intense emotions, and the activities here are a great way to channel those feelings into something perhaps productive and most importantly healing.

Bottom line, what impresses me most is the practicality of the methods within the book. I’ve had many a self-help book that were theoretical and wordy, but this book is all about the practice in a user-friendly format.

I received a gifted copy.

An exceptional book on how to hold space for your grief and actually live with it after you lose your person. I highly recommend for anyone in any stage of grief after profound loss.

This is such a wonderful book! It's not a book you just sit down and read cover to cover- At least not for me. It's more a book that you want to keep handy for those moments that hit you out of nowhere. It's full of tips and reminders to give yourself grace. There's no "one size fits all" when it comes to grief and there's a little bit of everything in this book. Places to write your thoughts and feelings, reflect on what you just read. All in all, this is an amazing read!
