It’s not a surprise to anyone that knows me that I am struggling with grief. I also know several others that are also on their own grief journey. Instead of trying to suppress or turn off my grieving, (which by the way, has worked like 💩), I am leaning into to it and just embracing it as part of my life.
Today, my grief recommendation is to read this book. This book welcomes you into the club that you never wanted to join – the grief club. I know that there’s grief support groups, but if you are not feeling up to going or just don’t feel like sharing thoughts and feelings with strangers, read “Welcome to Grief Club”.
This book has its irreverent moments, but it never mocks your feelings, because they are YOUR feelings. It’s also a nice sanity check. Here’s a hint, you’re not crazy, you’re grieving. It’s an easy read and has pictures, which helps lighten the mood, but it doesn’t discount your grief or wrap it up in a package with a bow.
If you are having a tough day, take an hour and read this book. Your situation won’t change. But, after reading it, you will feel like you’ve talked with a friend that knows exactly what to say.
