This is an excellent book. As a Minister and Grief Counselor, I have found it a very helpful tool. It is an easy read therefore making it a good gift for grieving individuals. Because each chapter is in many ways self sustaining, it makes an excellent resource for an ongoing grief group. Individuals can begin attending at any time, and not feel as if they are entering in the middle of something. It can be used with or without its companion journaling guide. The only wish is that I would like to see the two books bundled in a less expensive package. Increased sales would more than compensate for the reduced cost.

This is the most compassionate and helpful book on grieving I have ever read. As a former Hospice nurse, I highly recommend it to anyone dealing with grief issues.

After reading the chapters from Wolfelt's book, "Understanding Your Grief", the questions in this accompanying journal put you face-to-face with all the issues you need to consider and work through. It is often tough to deal with them, but there is no easy way to get to the other side of our 'grief wilderness'. It has also helped me learn how to effectively communicate with those people who want to support me in my grief...but more importantly, how to deal with those who can't or don't know how to support me in my grief.

Overall, a good duo of reading material on grief and the mourning process.
