“The Grief Quest workbook is GREAT…a real gem for those who are tryingto navigate the path through grief.”— Darcie D. Sims, Ph.D., CHT, CT, GMSDirector, American Grief Academy“Grief Quest is a well thought out journey for the bereaved who liketo ponder and record their thoughts. Others may just want to dip inand out of the wonderful stories and ponder the soul-searchingquestions. Bereavement counselors and group facilitators could use therich questions to stimulate discussion. Grief Quest’s L.O.V.E. processcan be very helpful to anyone who’s lost a loved one.”— Dr. Gloria Horsley, Grief Expert,President of The Open To Hope Foundation"I just finished reading Grief Quest. It is a wonderful workbook bythe bereaved for the bereaved.In those very early years of the grief journey it is achallenge for young grievers to get through reading even a paragraphof text and remember what they just read. The intense grief overloadsthe frontal cortex of the brain and we have serious short term memoryloss (CRS). This is why a workbook such as this is so valuable. Itprovides deep healing messages, quotes, stories, and questions/suggestions in a short and concise but meaningful way.It provides a provocative road map and diary for thegrieving soul; it does not pathologise, preach or instruct; it is aguided meditation in book form for the grieving heart. I would highlyrecommend this literal self help workbook for anyone on the griefjourney."— Mitch Carmodyauthor of ”Letters to My son, Turning Loss to Legacy”“I loved Grief Quest. What I particularly liked was the emphasis onpositive emotions and experiences while also giving opportunity forthe expression of pain and despair.
