Grieving Us

A Field Guide for Living with Loss Without Losing Yourself

By: Kimberley Pittman-Schulz

Narrated by: Kimberley Pittman-Schulz

For the quiet evenings when grief shows up…when the house is too still.

When the absence feels loud.

When you’re asking, “How do I live this life now, without the one I love?”

Grieving Us: A Field Guide for Living with Loss Without Losing Yourself is written for you.

If you’re ready to go beyond simply coping, this book offers a path for rebuilding your life—renewing your sense of self and purpose while staying connected to your loved one as you step into your future (because your life isn’t finished yet).

Called “heart-lifting” and “transformational” by listeners, Grieving Us blends beautiful, wise writing with a down-to-earth, conversational tone.

Through stories, mind-opening insights, and simple yet powerful practices, you’ll find new ways to:

• Take a break from grief, without pretending it isn’t there.
• Build a gentle life-support system for living with loss through ordinary moments, tiny rituals, and the natural world—restoring a deeper sense of aliveness.
• Keep your loved one close as a nurturing presence while living forward without regret or guilt.
• Work with the kaleidoscope of thoughts, emotions, and physical impacts grief brings.
• Discover that joy isn’t a place you get to after grief—joy can be a path through grief.

Grieving Us offers the missing “how-to” guidance for those still grieving yet feeling the pull to live fully again in a world forever changed.

Kimberley Pittman-Schulz draws from a life shaped by the early loss of her sisters, complex grief after her mother’s death, and her season as caregiver for her husband. With years of mentoring others through loss, her work blends deep empathy with grounded, practical wisdom.

If part of you knows there is still a life waiting to be lived—even now—this audiobook is here to walk beside you.

I got triggered - be warned before reading this!!!

I was hoping this book would help me with my ever evolving grief. I am 15 years into my grief journey and have been working with a therapist. I lost my mother at a young age. My mother’s two sisters both fell ill this year with similar diagnoses to my mother so I was starting to feel heavy grief again. I turned to this book that was recommended to me. The author’s personal story in the beginning had me so triggered I still cannot look at this book without the overwhelming feeling of sadness that the story brought on. There was a mild warning from the author but I do not feel this story was needed nor warranted in a book about grief. It’s been a few months since this happened and I just came across the book in my audible account. I’m finally able to write this review and delete the book from my library. Just be very careful if you are grieving a loss and read this book.

A great book, worth listening.

I have just lost my younger brother and was looking for an audiobook that would bring me some peace. This book was definitively very helpful as the author displays a solid understanding of grief and loss and offers feasible ways of dealing with the pain of loss. She keeps the listener engaged through her very interesting view of the world around her as well as the metaphors she uses to explain her point of view. It seems like she has a thing for birds and science which makes the reading even more interesting; I definitively learned new things. This book is worth listening.
