April“A book that changed my life. I do grief and bereavement therapy work and years ago my interest in supporting the community was peaked when I read this book. After experiencing the loss of a few friends at a younger age my curiosity about navigating the process of grief started and this was the first book I ever read on the topic years later.”

Mallorie Stallings“A book about grief that isn’t going to give you trite platitudes. I’d recommend reading before you need it, and again after you do.”
