The Good Grief Journal

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“The moment you read the first few pages of The Good Grief Journal, you know you chose the right book out of all the other books offered. Essbaum speaks of grief with a depth and sensitivity that can only come from personal experience. What she outlines in these brief pages is a journaling map. A map that, by use of poems, meditations, prayer, and biblical verse, can help guide one through the suffering of personal pain and lose. This is a beautiful book. It offers, if not healing through journaling, a solid way to begin that process.”
