Having lost my husband of 35+ years， this book has been a God-send in navigating such deep grief。 Gary has compiled the 'Grief Guidebook' as a must-have in anyone's journey of grief。 It covers such a vast array of topics faced in grief with thoughtful understanding and it holds valuable practical application throughout。 I read about myself and issues that I am facing as I journey through widowhood on nearly every page。 This will become a valuable "go-to" resource。" Having lost my husband of 35+ years， this book has been a God-send in navigating such deep grief。 Gary has compiled the 'Grief Guidebook' as a must-have in anyone's journey of grief。 It covers such a vast array of topics faced in grief with thoughtful understanding and it holds valuable practical application throughout。 I read about myself and issues that I am facing as I journey through widowhood on nearly every page。 This will become a valuable "go-to" resource。" 。。。more

Being a fairly new Vilomah （a parent who has lost a child）， Gary Roe's book "Shattered; Surviving the Loss of a Child" helped to comfort me at a time when emotions were really raw & when I felt absolutely no one understood my pain。 Now， 6 months later， I still have way more questions than answers but Gary's newest book "The Grief Guidebook" takes some of the most frequently asked questions， and puts them all together so they are easy to find， with answers that are even easier to comprehend。 I fi Being a fairly new Vilomah （a parent who has lost a child）， Gary Roe's book "Shattered; Surviving the Loss of a Child" helped to comfort me at a time when emotions were really raw & when I felt absolutely no one understood my pain。 Now， 6 months later， I still have way more questions than answers but Gary's newest book "The Grief Guidebook" takes some of the most frequently asked questions， and puts them all together so they are easy to find， with answers that are even easier to comprehend。 I find myself going to it multiple times every day。 Not only does it help to enlighten me but it also helps to insure me that my fears & concerns are normal and that I am not a candidate for the local mental health facility。 At least not yet anyway。 Thank you Gary for helping me not to feel quite so alone。 。。。more

This is a workbook you can use throughout your grief journey， one to dip into as feelings/questions arise。 The author understands loss， and the experience gained from grief counseling over the years addresses all the pain that arises along the way。 The book addresses questions， provides a guide to understanding， and offers suggestions for coping。 The last section， Finding Hope， is particularly helpful when you’re feeling hopeless。 It is a really helpful guide; I wish I’d found the book earlier i This is a workbook you can use throughout your grief journey， one to dip into as feelings/questions arise。 The author understands loss， and the experience gained from grief counseling over the years addresses all the pain that arises along the way。 The book addresses questions， provides a guide to understanding， and offers suggestions for coping。 The last section， Finding Hope， is particularly helpful when you’re feeling hopeless。 It is a really helpful guide; I wish I’d found the book earlier in my grieving。 。。。more

This is the book I wish had had thirteen years ago as I endured my first great loss with the death of my mom。 The question and answer format is perfect for the grieving heart that can only concentrate on small pieces of information at a time。 It is a book you can keep coming back to as you experience new losses or have new questions as you walk your grief journey。 It feels like a trusted friend reassuring you that you will be okay， even if you aren’t sure that is even possible。

The Grief GuidebookThis is a wonderful book written from the heart。 It is easy to read and let’s us know it’s okay to grieve and it’s okay to be different in our grief。 The Grief Guidebook suggests healthy ways to work through grief in whatever stage you are experiencing。 I recommend it for anyone who is grieving now or has in the past。

Gary Roe has nailed it， yet again。 As I navigate these unknown grief waters after the loss of my husband， this guidebook is an invaluable resource for so many of my anxieties and my crushed heart。 The chapters are short and easily digestible， and so very very pertinent。 So many statements echo my confusions and feelings， and it's such a comfort to "hear" I'm not alone。 I purposely ordered the paperback， and I have marked many chapters that I go back to， time and again。 Gary's compassion， underst Gary Roe has nailed it， yet again。 As I navigate these unknown grief waters after the loss of my husband， this guidebook is an invaluable resource for so many of my anxieties and my crushed heart。 The chapters are short and easily digestible， and so very very pertinent。 So many statements echo my confusions and feelings， and it's such a comfort to "hear" I'm not alone。 I purposely ordered the paperback， and I have marked many chapters that I go back to， time and again。 Gary's compassion， understanding and relatable suggestions continue to guide me on this journey I never hoped to travel。 。。。more

Nuggets of golden guidance towards understanding and self compassion when grieving。Still grieving the recent loss of one of my beloved cats， I found this book to be invaluable， both supportive and comforting， very honest， real and kind。 The layout of it means you can dip in and out to reveal support under whatever specific questions you may have or read through from start to finish， as I did。 Gary writes with great compassion and is so en pointe。 Not a hint of pushiness or expectations of you to Nuggets of golden guidance towards understanding and self compassion when grieving。Still grieving the recent loss of one of my beloved cats， I found this book to be invaluable， both supportive and comforting， very honest， real and kind。 The layout of it means you can dip in and out to reveal support under whatever specific questions you may have or read through from start to finish， as I did。 Gary writes with great compassion and is so en pointe。 Not a hint of pushiness or expectations of you to be on a certain timeline of how you experience grief， as I've experienced from many people I know， and thus in itself really truely supports you through your own grief journey。 Each question is covered succinctly， meaning its easy to absorb， without being overwhelmed and I found so easy to relate to。 This is a book for life， to help support and guide you through the process of life and passing。 A MUST read and I couldn't recommend more wholeheartedly！ 。。。more

A valuable compass through the many challenges of grief。This extensive Guidebook covers all aspects of grief， from dealing with the immediate loss， to learning to live into the future without your loved one， and how to create new bonds with them。 The practical suggestions gave me new and valuable input on how to live with the loss of my daughter。 Gary shares his deep understanding of grief in his signature warm and caring manner。

I have found Gary Roe's latest book to be an accessible and extremely helpful companion in these early days of dealing with another loss。 My favourite aspect is the way in which he breaks useful coping strategies into easy to remember acronyms like A。I。R （Acknowledge， Identify and Release - a suite of methods for dealing with challenging emotions as they arise） and T。W。A （Talk， Write， Art）You can easily read The Grief Guidebook from cover to cover， or you can select a chapter that addresses a pa I have found Gary Roe's latest book to be an accessible and extremely helpful companion in these early days of dealing with another loss。 My favourite aspect is the way in which he breaks useful coping strategies into easy to remember acronyms like A。I。R （Acknowledge， Identify and Release - a suite of methods for dealing with challenging emotions as they arise） and T。W。A （Talk， Write， Art）You can easily read The Grief Guidebook from cover to cover， or you can select a chapter that addresses a particular concern or question。 。。。more
