Critic Reviews

“This book is required for all my classes. The more I use this book, the more I believe that unresolved grief is the major underlying issue in most people’s lives. It is the only work of its kind that I know of that outlines the problem and provides the solution.” (Bernard McGrane, Ph.D., Professor of Sociology, Chapman University)

Grief and recovery

A little helpful at beginning but deteriorated into a boring workshop. I also didn’t like the underlying message that only this works if you complete the program and it’s better than anything else out there.
I could not complete this book and regret purchasing it.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
