Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
When Grief Comes Home
Erin Leigh Nelson · 2025
84/100
👍 Worth It
This dual-purpose guide fills a genuine gap: most grief books serve the adult or the child, but this one holds both at the same time, with age-specific conversation strategies and reflective exercises that make it immediately practical. Nelson's credentials are earned the hard way through personal tragedies, and Montague's clinical background adds professional grounding. Published by Baker Books with a Presbyterian Outlook review, it's a credible, compassionate resource for bereaved caregivers.
