Please tell me which books helped you through the grieving process

This can be manuals for grieving or memoir type books. I have lost a child.

So sorry, op. I would recommend "when bad things happen to good people."

[Anonymous]

I’m sorry, OP.

Different circumstances, but Joan Fusion’s Year of Magical Thinking resonated with me for the way she described the way your mind processes a loss.

It’s OK That You’re Not OK: Meeting Grief and Loss in a Culture That Doesn’t Understand by Megan Devine.

None, actually. I wasn't able to focus on reading. But music helped and brisk walks.

I do find there are some comfort reads I return to when I'm feeling low, not specifically grieving though.

Do you have books you've found comfort in previously, that you could return to now?

I'm sorry OP. I read Isabelle Allende's "Paula" years ago about the loss of her daughter. It was beautifully written, and I cried throughout.

Joan Didion also lost her daughter not long after her husband died, and she wrote a second book “Blue Nights.”

I am so sorry for your loss.

An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination by Elizabeth Mcracken
Once More We Saw Stars - don't remember the author's name, his daughter died of head trauma in a traumatic accident
Comfort by Ann Hood

I have also heard Rob Delaney's book about his son is very, very good but I can't bring myself to read it yet. These are all books about young children. I don't know your specific situation but I am sending you love and peace.
