Saved me
Derived From Web , Aug 17, 2021
On July 2, 2021, my boyfriend lost my best friend, Fiancésoulmatebest, on 2 July 2021. I was utterly devastated, shocked, scared, mad, physical heartache and heartbroken, very sad, depressed, no sleep, no appetite, anxiety, stress - everything you could imagine feeling when you lose the love of your life. I never thought I would stop crying. One day I finally opened the book and started reading it. You can read it one day at a time or for the whole week. You can easily search in the book by jumping through the contents. It tells you how to read the book and you actually read what other people feel in this book about certain things. It has tremendously helped. Just taking it day by day, day by day.

You wont get much out of this
Derived From Web , Jul 15, 2021
It does not offer much help. Just the feelings that this lady went through with her husband's death. But it does not serve as a guide but it does. Was not at all helpful. If anyone knows of a good book on dealing with a dying parent, please advise. Thanks a lot for this wonderful gift.

Minor Disappointments
Derived From Web , Dec 3, 2020
I really wanted to commit to this book, as the activities, daily quotes and short thought paragraphs from the author seemed like just the thing for each morning. I am three months into the book and in my grief process. The activities aren 't doing it for me just. I tried each faithfully and felt silly most of the time. I thought it might be me, so I asked my counselor, she said the activities seemed helpful, so that it may be me. Although I respect the authors and the words are powerful and applicable, some of the quotes used by SEEM are from novels-works of fiction. After three months of commitment, I left feeling a little disappointed. With all that said, I remain committed to reading the book and at least trying the activities.

A beautifully-written reminder that no one is alone in their grief.
Derived From Web , Dec 19, 2018
Grief can be nonlinear... and universal. And yet, this can be so hard to remember when you are in it. Jan Warner's book feels like a friend on the nightstand, willing to stand by your side through your personal journey with grief, however this journey can look a little different. Her book is intended as a chapter a week, but is written to be like a nonlinear grief. You can turn on a subject that speaks to you on any given day. Jan founded a Facebook page, Grief Speaks Out, the genesis for this book when her husband died. But she is carefully inclusive and her book is for people dealing with all kinds of grief. It is a beautifully written reminder that no one is alone in their grief.

A wonderful addition to any library
Derived From Web , Nov 13, 2018
What a wonderful book! Jan has chosen a wonderful variety of quotes, but my favorite parts of the book are her stories of her own personal experiences. She is relatable, sharing a breadth of emotions that sometimes make me smile and sometimes makes me teary. We have all experienced loss and one way or another and Jan helps bring grief to light. There is no right or wrong way and it is certainly not linear, as this book brings light to the light. I highly recommend! ''

Genuine, Compassionate, and Relentlessly Honest
Derived From Web , Oct 17, 2018
Jan Warner's serious compendium of wisdom for living after profound loss is courageous and honest. Not brutally honest '', but compassionately, genuinely and relentlessly so. She leads her fellow travelers not on a well-camped journey through grief, but on an uncharted expedition into the new normal of an upended world. She helps us to accept that we never fully recover the loss of a precious loved one, guiding our fellow “ Gief Warriors '' on how to continue living with the ever-present reality of our loss. Her personal experience allows others permission to see their own healthy grieving as a messy, messy, often unpredictable process, offering guidance on how to become in her words: Grieef Whisperers ''. And she helps us to understand that the love we have known is the precious, unending link between our past and our future, between our present and our future, between this world and the next.

I read many books and tried many things to help me with my grief, but nothing helped me, like this book by Jan Warner. The daily quotes really gave me hope. I can relate so much to everything the author has been through because i am going through the same thing. This is a book I can really relate to and would advise anyone suffering from grief to buy this book!
