"I lost my brother two months ago . . . Do you have any go-to books for grief?" This was a post in one of my book-lovers' FB groups. These are the books that I shared:
"The Year of Magical Thinking" and "Blue Nights" by Joan Didion
She expresses the realities that many of us experience in such an eloquent, even lyrical, style. Highly recommend.
"Holding on to Hope" by Nancy Guthrie
Nancy and her husband lost two babies to a rare syndrome. Again, articulate expressions of her feelings and experiences with the book and character of Job. I bought this book in several formats. She also has written other helpful self-help books for those who grieve . . . and for those who want to relate well to those who grieve.
So this is part one, and I hope to post covers and more titles for part two. Right now I must clean my house! I'd love to hear your grief-processing books, as well.
