Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
What's Your Grief?
Eleanor Haley · 2022
78/100
👍 Worth It
Haley and Williams built an online grief community before they wrote this book, and that practitioner warmth comes through on every page — the 75-list format genuinely lowers the barrier to engaging with loss at your own pace. The scope is one of its best features: job loss, divorce, and relocation sit alongside death, which reflects how grief actually works. Readers who need faith-based comfort will need a different book, but for secular or inclusive grief support this is a standout.
✦ Penny’s Take — 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 — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Explicitly secular and non-faith-based; readers seeking Christian grief resources should look elsewhere. We still scored it 78; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
