Anxiety: The Missing Stage of Grief
Claire Bidwell Smith Β· 2018
π Narrated by Claire Bidwell Smith
Bidwell Smith makes a connection that most grief and anxiety books miss entirely: that unresolved loss is a primary but underdiagnosed driver of anxiety, and she backs it with both therapist training and her own early orphanhood in a way that is genuinely moving and clinically grounded. The author narration is ideal for material this personal β her therapist voice balances warmth with clinical authority β and the concrete exercises mean you finish with more than insight alone.
β¦ Penny’s Take β this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read β not a page-by-page personal one. The gold β Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
π Narration: excellent Author-narrated with therapist authority and personal grief history; the combination of clinical insight and lived loss makes this a notably effective audio experience.
