Summary

A friendly and accessible book of 75 lists that will help anyone experiencing a change or loss—for fans of Maggie Smith， Cheryl Strayed， and Katherine May—from the creators of the popular What's Your Grief website and community。

Losses， big and small， turn your world upside down。 What's Your Grief？ will help you through all of them。

Many life changes need to be grieved， from the loss of a loved one to the loss of a job， from a breakup to a relocation， and all the rest of life's ebbs and flows。 In What's Your Grief？， mental health professionals Eleanor Haley and Litsa Williams help you examine， investigate， and move through the complex but universal experience of grief。

Through 75 engaging， informative， and accessible lists， such as to-do （and not-to-do） lists， bucket lists， interactive lists， and more， you'll discover:


Five little-known truths about grief
Four reasons guilt is even more complicated than you think
Nine tips for communicating what you do （and don't） need
Seven common defense mechanisms
And much more
There's no single way to experience grief。 But this unique book will help you move through whatever it looks like and feels like to you。

THIS。 IS。 BRILLIANT！！This has to be the best book I have read on grief。 After the loss of my brother 10 years ago， and having therapy to deal with the loss， I have been told I have 'delayed grief' so it's something that I am still struggling with， and still wanting to find the answers to。 This book may not have all the answers but my goodness， it really helps！！The way the book is laid out， is just perfect。 It's full of information， but it's split into separate short chapters， with key lists/bull THIS。 IS。 BRILLIANT！！This has to be the best book I have read on grief。 After the loss of my brother 10 years ago， and having therapy to deal with the loss， I have been told I have 'delayed grief' so it's something that I am still struggling with， and still wanting to find the answers to。 This book may not have all the answers but my goodness， it really helps！！The way the book is laid out， is just perfect。 It's full of information， but it's split into separate short chapters， with key lists/bullet points included to make it easy to manage。 When you're feeling low， the last thing you want to do do is read - and the last thing you can do is read。 So the layout of this book gives you the ability to still get the reading done。 Thoroughly recommend it！ 。。。more

i feel like grief-related self help is so tough to read and review because grief and loss in themselves are not something you necessarily "want" to experience。 this is less of a book that one might "want" to read， but for those of us living with grief， this is definitely a book you should read and will get something out of if you do （even if it's just one list that sticks with you）。 it's always comforting to see your grief experiences reflected in others and validated with psychological and scie i feel like grief-related self help is so tough to read and review because grief and loss in themselves are not something you necessarily "want" to experience。 this is less of a book that one might "want" to read， but for those of us living with grief， this is definitely a book you should read and will get something out of if you do （even if it's just one list that sticks with you）。 it's always comforting to see your grief experiences reflected in others and validated with psychological and scientific reasoning， and i appreciate how the second half of the book focuses on strategies for coping and living with grief after a loss。 this book reads somewhat like a textbook or workbook， as the authors make use of a lot psychology / studies / research / etc。 particularly useful for me were the sections that encourage you to make your own lists to confront your loss， consider the ways it has affected you， and imagine ways to cope。 i felt like I should be taking notes and highlighting key terms！ i love lists and i think the list format is specifically useful for this book as it allows you to flip through， find sections that apply to your situation depending or mood， and skim over what might not be relevant to you currently。i personally connected a lot with the lists relating to guilt and regret （the differences between the two， why we feel them， etc。） as well as hindsight bias and counterfactual thinking， as my family and I experienced a lot of this after my dad died。 i'm really appreciative that this book introduced me to the concepts of continuing bonds and post-lost growth， both of which i strongly resonated with。 i would love to own a physical copy in the future to reference and go back to， as this feels like the kind of book you can pick up from time to time， look at a list for guidance on a feeling you're having or to look at your options for coping strategies， and then put down knowing you'll come back to different parts sometime later， and maybe lend to a friend in a tough situation。the only shortcoming this book had for me was in its attempt to be so broad as "to help you through any loss。" having lost a loved one and a beloved pet recently， i read the book through that lens。 some lists definitely felt more applicable to my experiences than others， and i wondered how much people reading from the perspective of a different sort of loss would get out of the book。 the aspirations for broadness make sense， though， especially in the context of the pandemic during which almost everyone has experienced some sort of loss or grief （which the authors mention in their introduction）。 also， since there are so many lists， certain ideas come up again and again and the book does start to feel repetitive at points。 i'd really recommend reading this book in small bits instead of all at once。i would recommend this book specifically to someone who is moving out of the initial absolute shock and intense emotions that come with a loss and is beginning to restructure their life， perhaps wondering if the way they're experiencing grief is "normal" （for me， this would have been about 2-3 months after my dad died）。 some of the lists discuss this - society often presents us with ideas of what the "right" and "wrong" ways to grieve are， which can lead one to feel isolated or misunderstood if one's grief practices don't quite measure up or tick the boxes of the well-known 5 stages。 this book does a great job at introducing the psychology behind different theories of grief and helping its reader to understand different loss-related concepts， so you can begin to think about ways to live with grief without experiencing the shame or stigma of feeling that you're somehow doing it wrong。（thanks to the publisher on netgalley for the arc！） 。。。more
