1 author picked What Grieving People Wish You Knew about What Really Helps (and What Really Hurts) as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is a must read for anyone who has either experienced loss and grief or knows someone who is experiencing grief.

It equips all readers with everything they need to know to come alongside their grieving friend or loved one. I appreciated this book so much because in my story of loss, I’ve experienced exactly what Guthrie says that really helps and also all the things she mentions that really hurt.

From Kaitlyn's list on a biblical view of death and grief.
