Navigating Grief Workbook: Evidence-Based Exercises to Move through Grief and Heal

First, I extend gratitude to Anna Darbonne, PsyD for providing us an "Advanced Reader Copy" for review as we sojourn together through the grief sharing process.The Grief Workbook is a well thought out compilation of all critical areas the griever will experience and necessary to explore with authenticity to begin the healing process. Anna provides you the means to understand grief (while yours is your own - no 2 people grieve the same) The griever and/or educator will find value in doing the work necessary to process grief and a means to find their way back when giving yourself grace, time, love and support through people who will build you up. Anna emphasizes if professional support is needed - DO REACH OUT.Yes, grief is an unwelcome visitor in our lives but we can be assured it will find its' way to us or our loved ones at some point in our lives.Anna has provided the tools necessary to do the work. The work is personal, intimate and revealing. I encourage each reader to be authentic as you explore each of the pages.I liked how Anna breaks down in simplicity the weight of YOUR OWN STORY, holding the weight of grief and provides the many descriptives sometimes we often cannot put into our own words. The anatomy diagrams are most helpful as we often discount the physical body because the emotion is internalized yet the power of the body mind connection is powerful.

Lots of gentle reminders that our griefs are real, that we all grieve how we grieve, and allowing ourselves space to grieve. Yet there are good seeds we can plant into our lives, even as we are shattered, that will help us be able to stand up when we can and eventually walk. Grief does not necessarily go away, but it is something that we can learn to navigate. There is hope.

This book is very informative. It highlights many key points and areas of grief. As a counselor this book is so easy to navigate through with clients.It provides activities that help them work through their grief and gain an understanding.

Im a licensed mental health counselor and order several grief workbooks to help process the passing of my brother. This one was definitely the best of all of them. Great informational reading about grief and journal prompts to help you process and understanding your feelings.

Enjoyed it

Dealing with grief is never easy. All of us process differently. This book can guide you through the process. Its a must have for any that are in the help industries. Pastors, Therapists, all of those that trust you to help them, need you to give them this book to allow them to work through their grief. This book has helped me tremendously. I'm confident it can help all others.

I liked all the exercises great stuff. Good writing. Very peaceful. Calming. Very compassionate. I’d recommend it to anyone who has a loss.

Love all the activities and content. You could easily structure a support group using this text. I recommended this to my colleagues. Well done
