Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take

The Long Grief Journey

Pamela Blair · 2023
84/100
👍 Worth It

Blair and Hansen identified a real gap — most grief books address the acute phase, not the years that follow when the loss still quietly runs everything — and they fill it with clinical credibility and genuine compassion. The workbook format makes it active rather than just validating. This is emotionally heavy by nature, so it's best picked up when you have some stability around you, not in the depths of a crisis.
