Excellent Resource for Grief Recovery
"This helful new book is interactive--helping you journal, react, respond and process your feelings as you move through the stages of grief. Paulina Jaramillo offers real help, real hope if you've experienced trauma or loss.

Everyone processes grief differently. Sometimes it may feel as if you're "stuck" in a phase or a stage-- that's normal, but this book can help you understand what you're experiencing plus show you some practical, helpful next steps.

Excellent for anyone in a "Celebrate Recovery" program, or anyone who has experienced grief, loss, or crisis."
