Summary: Grieving is Work. This is your workbook
Review: As a person who has experienced the losses of my mother and parents-in law and recently a young nephew, and as a caregiver to my mother and father -in-law as they were dying, I found this journal extremely helpful to understanding the grieving process.
The author gently guides the reader through healing by probing the relationships with the deceased and with the living, those supportive and nonsupportive.I think most importantly she reassures the reader that they are unique and so is their path, but also she helps you realize that the experience is universally human.
I highly recommend this book to anyone experiencing a recent loss or one in the past that may not be totally resolved.As someone wrote after Princess Diana's death, the outpouring of expessions of grief for someone most didn't know personally spoke volumes on the amount of unresolved grief we all carry around. This journal will help focus those feeling back to the personal level. Chris in Centennial, Colorado

Summary: Grieving is Work. This is your workbook
Review: Dr. Judy Davidson has provided us a wonderful roadmap for the most difficult journey most of us will ever take. It's that trip from despair to recovery following the death of a loved one. In a loving, patient, and methodical way, her journal, Grieving Well, guides you through the grieving process by providing practical advice and permission to express sadness, fear, anger and acceptance. Accepting loss is complex, progressive, and multidimensional. We are affected in every way that matters-spiritually, psychologically, physical, and our relationships. Sometimes we can deal with it head-on, but other times it time to run and hide. From my own personal experience, I need to focus on something-anything to get through it. The Grieving Well Journal provides a vehicle to both focus and heal. In a step by step series of questions, constructive direction is given that can be used for any loss, recent or more distant. By answering the journal questions you look at the qualities of the deceased and what you've lost; what else you have lost because they are gone, any feelings of regret and guilt you may have; how other's clichés and platitudes affect you, what you are doing to take care of yourself, and more. The questions can be done in any order and any interval-ready when you are. Alone or in conjunction with counseling. If you're not ready for this book now, share it with some one else who may be in need of renewal...

Summary: Grieving Well
Review: I wish I had Judy Davidson's book "Grieving Well" 13 years ago when my husband died. Now six months ago my father died and again I face the journey of loss, loneliness, and the reality of not seeing my beloved father ever again. This book is a God send....it is a guide to be able to express ones self when you are not even sure what you need to express. It takes you from a beginning point and leads you down a path of recovery. As I began to express myself, in a journal form, I began to notice how much better I was feeling.
I recommend this book to everyone who has lost a loved one. It would be a first step in getting better.
Thank you Ms Davidson for you courage and for the gift of this book!!

Summary: Greving well is a First Class Journal
Review: This book is one of the best journals on grieving available. I recommend it to all my friends and associates who are expereincing the grief of a personal loss.
Dr. Davidson's book allows for more indepth thinking about the greiveing process. Her openended questions in the journal show her first hand experience at gireving personal losses.She gently walks you through the greiving experience and allows you to truly feel and work though your loss. She asks you to refelct on expereicnes that other, less expereinced authors, do not ask ask. These questions allow you to get to the root of your greif.
