It's been said that Grief is LOVE with nowhere to go! I applaud Melissa Hull for crafting such a fantastic book on such an important topic. A topic that needs much more conversation. I lost my mother over 12 years ago at the time of the publishing of this book, and I can truly say that I wish I had this resource back then.

We all need help "moving forward" after the loss of something or someone significant to us, yet, we also understand that it's a necessary and unavoidable part of life as well.
