The Story Behind the Book
I first walked into a GriefShare circle at 35 weeks pregnant. My father had just died, and I couldn't fly to his funeral. I sat thousands of miles away, grieving a father while preparing to become a mother.
Years later, I held my stepfather's hand as he passed peacefully at 94. Then I attended GriefShare again—this time with my whole family—after my mother lost her husband.
Three losses. Three completely different experiences. Three different versions of grief. That's when I understood: there is no one right way to grieve.
"Good Grieve is not a roadmap for getting over grief,
but a companion for walking through it.”
I never intended to publish GOOD GRIEVE.
I wrote the first version in 2006, shaped by my own experiences with loss and by the quiet realization that grief doesn’t respond well to advice. What people often need most isn’t a perfect word—it’s a safe place to feel what they feel, some structure for the day, and permission to grieve in their own way.
So I created the kind of resource I wished more people had: something honest, faith-rooted, and practical. Not a roadmap for “getting over it,” but a companion for walking through it.
For years, this journal was shared privately. My husband and I gave copies to people in hospitals, offices, homes, and waiting rooms—often tucked into a sympathy card, sometimes handed over with no words at all.
More than 1,500 copies later, GOOD GRIEVE has already walked beside so many people.
Now, I’m making it available more widely, in the hope that it finds the exact person who needs it, exactly when they need it.
