Healing Your Grieving Heart: 100 Practical Ideas (Healing Your Grieving Heart series)

This book has been very helpful In helping me to deal with my grief. I highly recommend it

I lost someone extremely close, this book although dated somewhat it really helps. Helps so much I have bought it for others.

A nice, easy to read guide to the grief process and includes many straightforward things to do to help process and work through grief. The set up of the book (as you can see from the preview) is a one page brief overview of a topic related to grief, and at the bottom of the page there is a strategy, such as a prompt for journal writing, a quote to reflect on, an activity to do, or urging the reader to reach out to a trusted friend to talk. It is a simple book and not bogged down with complicated language or unrealistic tips for coping with grief. It almost seemed like common sense ideas organized in brief little bits (1 page topics) that would be great for someone coping with grief; it was freeing to be able to read one page or a few pages based on how I felt, rather than the feeling I got from other books where I felt overwhelmed into reading a full chapter. This book is not all that deep, though, and would be really good in conjunction with talking with a therapist or group counseling to maximize benefit.

This book is very good for dealing with grief. I lost my wife at 54 after a 15 month battle with cancer about 4 months ago. I had heard the author as as a speaker previously. I bought this book for my adult children (29 & 26) after the loss of their mother. I bought the companion book (for Spouses)for myself. When I lost my bother (at 61)a little over a month ago I bought this book for his adult child (who was really struggling as they had not had a good relationship for a long while) and the companion book for his spouse. They have all said it was very helpful.His various books on 100 ways to Heal Your Grieving Heart are really thought provoking and helpful. They are short and easy to work to read and put to practice. I plan to buy more as time goes on to help others in need. Losing a love one is very difficult and this book helps to work through the challenging process of morning and grief, male or female.

During the time of losing a loved one, this is a must. It gives one permission to mourn. It explains that everyone mourns differently. We received this book when our son passed. I sent one to our friend that lost a love one around the time of our lost. She so appreciated it. She said she felt like she was able to grieve after reading it. Very easy reading, so it is good for the non reader.

I chose this book based upon the recommendation of a friend who works with grief counseling. It is an excellent resource for the person who in a time of despair and hopelessness needs to feel empowered. It offers "hope" for some form of healing from the deep trauma. The book suggests tangible ways to help oneself in the healing journey. I will continue to buy extra copies to give to those experiencing a broken heart. It is a wonderful resource for anyone who desires to be supportive and a companion to others during life's hard times - no matter the cause of the trauma or grief.

I bought this for a friend who needs it.I was given the one about losing your spouse/partner when my husband passed away. I found that it was so helpful in making me realise that what was happening to me was a normal process.In the grieving, you do feel very alone in your thoughts, actions, feelings and numbness while the world passes you by. I has taken me over 4 years to truly move along with my life on my own.

Excellent, practical guide. Work with persons in grief and found this to be helpful. Many people have let me know how much it helped them.

this is for adults. I recently gave this as a gift to a friend who lost her husband. She has found it a great comfort and companion as she begins to make her grief journey. These books are easy to read when your concentration is badly affected by your grief, and full of practical and caring ideas. It is simply one of the best books in this genre.

This book isn't as good as I thought it might be as I have read something very similar before. Would recommend to a newly bereaved person if they haven't read anything before

Highly recommended.

Great book. Helped me immensely.
