I’ve given several away after I got my first copy.
It helped me so much with losing my fiancé a few years ago- I needed something to keep referring to quickly and. Or have to sort thru a lot of pages. Any page i flipped to, was so helpful- perfect and small and easy to read and understand.

When someone you love dies, especially unexpectedly, the emotions experienced defy words. At a time like this, you may not have the energy to read a full length book on any subject, let alone grief. This booklet is by far the best resource we have found in our grief journey. It is insightful while remaining brief. It is full of practical information to assist the bereaved. Even without the biblical references, this booklet is extremely helpful for those suffering loss. We have sent many copies to friend and family who have also experience the pain of losing a loved one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good book to give along with your sympathy card.
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2020

A very good book to give along with your sympathy card. Despite I am a writer, I never really know exactly what to say when someone loses someone close to them. It feels like no amount of words are ever enough to relay how sorry you are or to express how much you would like to comfort the other person in their time of sorrow. Everyone grieves differently, and I started keeping this book ($2.86) on hand to go with my sympathy cards. Every time I give a sympathy card to someone, I also give one of these little books. The people on the other end are always so appreciative to receive this little book. The book is really good even if it is not read cover to cover. You can just simply flip through it and read a sentence here and there or just take a glance at it and be able to walk away with something really helpful. I buy my sympathy cards now in bulk (the ones in the boxes with a few designs each) and the cost savings of not having to go pay a higher price for one at the time is the savings I use to order these books. They are extremely helpful. If you (or someone else) has had any sort of loss, no matter how long ago, this little book is perfectly worded, easy to read, and again extremely helpful. Another really good grief book is Good Grief: 50th Anniversary Edition by Granger E. Westberg. On Amazon it has 422, 5 star reviews. It is about $6 or so but I could not find the paperback of it on Amazon cheap enough so had to recently order those from Christianbook.com Amazon does have several other of Westberg's books but the one closest to it at the bottom says companion for so wasn't sure if it was similar or not. Sometimes I give both of these books out (though Westberg's book is more expensive). Since this book, Experiencing Grief is quite a bit cheaper, I am going to order about ten more copies just to keep on hand. In the event of an emergency or a tragedy these would really be a blessing for family members, etc.

This is one of the very best books i have read to help when my husband passed. I have told many people to read this book, it encourages that the feelings you are experiencing are normal and ways to cope with the loss. Excellent book

It gives so much help and describes exactly what you may be going through. It explains why we should not worry over how long it takes because there are no set times. Everybody is different and we are to just go one day at a time. Bible references of the words of Jesus is by far the most help. We can grasp His great love for us as we rest in His care. This can bring about a deeper closer walk with our dear Savior than ever before. And it will be life changing as long as we stay close to Him and daily read His word to get to know Him more every day.🙏

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick read that validates the feelings experienced in grief
Reviewed in Canada on December 5, 2022
Verified Purchase
I really liked this book and found it helpful in clarifying my own experiences with grief. It has a total of 25 chapters, which can be read in one day. By the end, I felt like it validated how I was feeling. The chapters that resonated the most with me were Chapters 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 14, 15, 17, 22, 24, and 25. Though it could be different for another reader based on their experiences. I like how the author explains from the beginning that you can use this as a tool and can come back to read chapters that help you with processing the grief. It’s a small book too, so can easily be tucked into a purse or the back pocket of a men’s pair of jeans. This is a cost-effective book and I think I’ll purchase another copy to have one at work as well. Highly recommend.
