Reseñas de la Crítica

“This book is required for all my classes. The more I use this book, the more I believe that unresolved grief is the major underlying issue in most people’s lives. It is the only work of its kind that I know of that outlines the problem and provides the solution.” (Bernard McGrane, Ph.D., Professor of Sociology, Chapman University)

Finally happy memories

the book is helpful and I’m actually able now to think of some new memories that were happy times instead of sad memories that were later at the end.
I was able to listen at 1.3 speed for most of the book and then I only slowed it down to 1.0 for a couple of the instructions.
So I also realize that I’m grieving the loss of a loved one and grieving the loss of my job.
I like it but am having trouble completing the work because I do not have the visual for what to draw. Looked online helped some.
Death loss of a job etc good for everyone lol

I enjoyed everything about this book.

The content, the encouragement, the admonishment for recovery with action. Thank you for making this in audible format!

A must read for those of us suffering loss

Impressed with the experience level of the authors. Well thought out presentation which leaves no one out. it will help me for sure... thank you Sara at the VA.

Thinking. Feeling. Next step: Doing

I learned a lot and was surprised to feel inspired by listening to this book. I was grieving the death of someone close to me and bought this book as a resource. I found that the book applied more to other types of grief that sat unaddressed during my lifetime. Now I have insight on what I can do to move forward. I plan to read most of the book a second time, and to begin working on the exercises I have listened to and thought about. Thank you for writing the book. It is tremendously helpful.

Get the physical book.

Although the narrator’s voice was pleasant, I was frustrated often when he got certain words totally wrong. You see, I tend to read along in a physical copy of the book when I listen to an audio book, as it improves my retention of the material if I can see and hear it. Unfortunately, the narrator often would misread a word such as “relived” as “relieved” thereby changing The Who meaning of the sentence. Luckily I had the book so I was not confused, but someone who is going just on the audio might get the wrong idea about certain statements the authors were making.

Finally!

After multiple therapists, dozens of books, and continuously working through the loss of family who are still alive (due to their core religious beliefs dictating a shunning of me in many ways) while still taking on the pain and tribulations of an to

Thank you for this book

A profoundly emotionally enlightening book to help with loss, grieving, and moving on to happiness

Great for healing

This book has helped me so much, I lost my husband in may 2022 and then my mom Dec 2022. Rough year for us so this has helped with healing and looking at it a different way. I was mad at God for taking them both so close. Definitely must listen if your hurting like I am / was.

Buying the paper copy too!

This is so helpful and I’m sure I can Google the visuals but I will buy the paper version and pick this apart both ways to really mine this treasure.

A book that everyone should read

This book was incredible in so many ways. if you are dealing with grief, buy it. It will help.
