Grief Recovery
A Workbook for Widows and Widowers
This workbook concentrates on the grief experiences of widows and widowers and guides them through 10 weeks of sharing and learning about their personal journey through grief. It is most effective in a group but also suitable for the individual reader. The workbook has been used in churches for many years. This revised edition includes new material.
I was widowed with two small children when I went to Robyn's grief group. The Grief Recovery Workbook gave me insight and understanding of the grieving process. By working through the book and sharing my grief with others, I was able to recover and find a new life. Diane Ullom, Elder, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church, Menlo Park, California.
I was stunned by the severity of my grief following the death of my husband. Attending this group and using this workbook over the years enabled me to navigate through my grief. Since then, I have seen many widows and widowers gain an understanding of their grief while walking through their own personal grief journey. Merrilee Harter Mitchell, Elder, Stephen Minister and Coordinator/Facilitator of Widows/Widowers Grief Recovery of the East Bay, Oakland, California
I would recommend this book to anyone suffering the loss of a spouse at any stage of recovery. Don Schreiber, retired engineer, Los Altos, California
