Our review: Ok, confession. This reviewer has listened to the whole thing - all seasons - more than once. Ok, parts more than twice. Ok, the Colbert episode many more than that. It’s just so so good. This is definitely the resource most recommended on our bereavement calls, and (along with the What’s Your Grief book), the one we hear back from people about as the most moving, the most helpful thing we’ve recommended. It’s lovely.

Our review: Easily digestible bits for a grief-fogged brain, sound theory, beautiful to look at, research-based, non-linear, reads like you are talking with friends.

Our review: What we like about this are the short chapters, written in a gentle conversational style but still has all the research based, all-you-need-to-know and all-the-grace-and-space you need. There are questions for reflection at the end of each chapter.

Some things cannot be fixed. They can only be carried. This book provides a path to rethink our relationship with grief. It encourages readers to see their grief as a natural response to death and loss, rather than an aberrant condition needing transformation.

Our review: This little book has been a fan favorite for 30 years. These meditations have quotes from authors, poets, philosophers and Christian mystics, and also Christian and Hebrew scriptures.
