As a bereavement counsellor I wanted to read this, although I was worried it might advocate a kind of forced happiness. Luckily my misgivings were unfounded. It was well written, very balanced and useful. It also contains a chapter to share with friends and family. Great book.

The author of this is a professional in the field and also has her own grief she has to address, having lost her daughter in an accident. So the book has a lot of explanations about grief, the process, etc but there is also a lot of support, with statements encouraging the reader to believe in recovery from a devastating loss. There are also exercises that you can do to assess your own situation and where you are.
As someone who picked this up because I am struggling, I think it would have been more helpful to have less information and more support and assessment. I do think a lot of people will find this helpful, though.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this
