Good Grief!: Trekking the Wilderness of Loss (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578938097)

We all walk through grief at our own rhythm and pace and there are no well-worn paths to follow. Each of us must find our own way, but we're not alone.

Dawn Murphy shares her journey through grief with disarming honesty and intimacy, offering us some of the ridiculous truths and unexpected discoveries she stumbled upon along the way. She gives us a look at the obstacles she faced and some candid, practical, sometimes even humorous, suggestions for others who might encounter them on their own journey through grief-such as how to avoid having a nervous breakdown at the grocery store and why it may be a good idea to smash a coconut on your loved one's birthday.

Her crooked path led her to understand that grief isn't something to get over. Rather, it's about learning how to live more wholly with it-so that we can get to Good Grief. It's a really, really hard place to find, but Dawn's story points us in a hopeful direction.
