Grief is an arduous journey, and Gina Moffa, LCSW, extends a compassionate hand in 'Moving on Doesn’t Mean Letting Go.' Drawing from nearly two decades of clinical experience and her personal loss, Moffa provides a heartfelt and practical guide to navigate the pain of grief at one's own pace. This book proves invaluable for anyone seeking solace and understanding in the face of loss. Thank you to Netgalley, the author, and the publisher for allowing me to read and review.

A thoughtful book on how to work through the loss of someone who has passed away. I liked the author’s anecdotes and tips to handling grief.

ARC was provided by NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

This was tailored more for those who’ve experienced death of a loved one, so it was less compelling for me. I was looking for a book on loss of a relationship (which this was marketed to be applicable for). Overall this is well written and has good messages about how to re-examine dissonant thoughts during grief, but it’s written mostly anecdotally (as opposed to citing data), which I don’t prefer in self help books because it can sound more subjective and less research based.

We're not comfortable with grief; not going through it ourselves, and not in acknowledging or talking about grief with others. We just don't seem to know what to say, or do, yet somehow feel that we're doing it wrong.

Gina Moffa has the credentials and experience to make her very familiar with and comfortable discussing and helping others deal with the many types of grief. Her warm, kind and compassionate nature shines throughout the book. She seems like an old friend who validates our feelings even as she guides us in how to accept, manage, and move through the grieving process.

I found the book easy to relate to, the anecdotes and lessons both educational and affirming. Overall, a very helpful book which I highly recommend. Please share it with someone you know who could benefit from such a book,

My thanks to Grand Central Publishing, Balance for letting me read a DRC of the book which is scheduled to be published 8/22/23. All opinions expressed in this review are my own and are freely given.

There's no one way to grieve a loss. There are however a lot of books written about the subject. I was so pleased with this author's advice and tips and just overall authentic approach to grief and moving on from it without just putting it in a box! This is a helpful resource that I think many people will benefit from. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
