Self-help β¦ Penny’s Take
When Grief Becomes US
Janelle Johnson Β· 2023
71/100
π Worth It
A credentialed LPC brings real clinical weight to this grief guide, with practical tools like mindfulness exercises and coping frameworks that readers can actually use. The self-published origin means it lacks the editorial polish and independent review trail of a major-press title, so you're trusting the author's credentials more than outside validation. Still, for adults navigating bereavement who want a secular, practical companion, it earns its place on the shelf.
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.
