Official Review: The Heart of Grief Relief Journal

[Ashiyya Tariq]

No doubt journaling is an excellent tool for the catharsis of hidden feelings. The author did a wonderful job by Sharing his innermost thoughts in form of this elegant story. I am glad you enjoyed this book. Thanks for this awesome review.

Sounds like a really good book. I’m not at all surprised about the benefits of journaling because I found that out awhile ago. But I feel like I know someone who could definitely use this. Whether they would or not though is another thing.

Wow, what a deep topic. Would you read this book if you were grieving? For pleasure, to learn? It sounds like a very useful book I'm just trying to put it in context. Thanks for a great review.

Most of the book is for journaling. There is some didactic information, but I would say there are better books than this one to learn about grief. Anything by Elizabeth Kubler Ross would be very informative. She is really the mother of grief research and healing grief. That is where I would look for education about grief. This book would be better for a person who is in a grief process and wanting to use the book to write down feelings. Thanks so much for your comment.

Each page of this book is elegant, thoughtful, and intentional. Richard Ballo’s writing style is clear and easy to understand. He draws the reader in right away with his compassion and his personal experience. Having endured several losses, I felt instantly comforted reading Richard’s story and found myself tearing up as elements reflected my own story. The relatively short articles are probably as much reading as a grieving person would want. It seems like the perfect amount of information. I was glad the author stressed several times the importance of receiving grief counseling and other support through a hospice organization. Hospice services now reach far beyond death and dying.

This sounds like a very comforting book for anyone who has, is or will go through the grieving process. Thank you for your review.

When I read this review a wave of both sadness and hope washed over me. I immediately recalled the pain of losing loved ones and I realized how beneficial this journal could have been and the value it can provide in the future. While I knew there was a therapeutic effect in journaling, you stated it in a way that really demonstrated the power inherent in journaling through difficult times of loss. I am really interested in getting a copy of this book and maybe buying a few extras to share with others. Thank you for the review.

I am so glad you think this book might benefit you and others in your life. It really is a great book. Mostly for journaling but with just a bit of didactic information. The quotes on the journaling pages were really comforting in and of themselves. It is sometimes nice just to know so many others have felt how you are feeling. I imagine the hard copy of this book is really lovely. Thanks for the thoughtful comment.

I wanted to add that I remembered the name of the Elisabeth Kubler Ross book that is the manual of the ages for grief. For the purposes of learning about grief, not necessarily for the grieving person. It details the 5 stages of the grief process. Thanks.
