About Grounding Grief
From the publisher's feed
Circumstances that cause us to grieve are guaranteed to knock on everyone’s door at least once, yet we often treat grief as taboo. Talking about it helps normalize it. We can learn from those who…
have endured it, so that we might better serve others who grieve, as well as prepare ourselves to find grounding in grief when it visits us.
