Moving Through Grief

“Moving Through Grief is written in a calming, understandable, and relatable voice. Gretchen educates, but also offers practical, easy-to-understand exercises and tasks to engage the reader in their grief journey. Through these exercises, one can connect to themselves and their feelings at the deepest level–and that is where progress and healing are found. That is truly where the gift of such grief lives.”–Kate Lyon Osher, mental health and suicide prevention advocate“Dr. Gretchen does a great job perfectly organizing a grief manual. This book can serve as a go-to guide for getting you back on track after a life pitfall. In a very transparent way, she brilliantly incorporates her own struggles with grief so that you do not feel alone. Who would’ve ever thought that death is not the only catalyst to grief? This book captures every aspect of loss or change in life that puts us in a tragic state of mind. It also compels you to think about your own situation deeply and take action. It’s surely a must-read self-help gem.”–Renetta DuBose, anchor/reporter, WJBF NewsChannel 6“Dr. Kubacky gets it. Her book reads as the best friend who truly gets the pain you feel and also as the expert who can tell you how to move forward. She translates scientifically proven methods of healing from loss into a practical and actionable roadmap not only to heal but to become BETTER humans through the unavoidable pain that comes with loss.”–Amber Lyda, licensed psychologist“Gretchen has created a grief book that includes the many places grief touches our lives: pets, work, disability, and so many others. It’s refreshing to see all the places we encounter and cope with grief in one book–and from the very beginning. Her ACT approach to processing grief fits for many readers and makes looking at your losses more approachable. If you–or a client or loved one–are looking for a new way to cope with a loss, I would suggest taking a look at this book. It’s short enough to not be intimidating and provides an active approach.”–Jill A. Johnson-Young, LCSW, yourpaththroughgrief.com, author of Your Own Path Through Grief“I was given Moving Through Grief at a time of great stress, crisis, and loss. Dr. Gretchen Kubacky’s critical advice, calm strength, and compassionate wisdom was a buoy, a rock to cling to, and a pillar to reflect upon. Her deft handling of a complex and nuanced subject eased me gently into a recovery process that was deceptively simple, but profound in its effective and lasting results for change and growth. With actionable steps, it taught me new ways of thinking and behaving, as well as refining skills I already possessed, to let me navigate my way free of the caves and shadows of bitter resentment, anger, grief, and despair. With Moving Through Grief, Dr Kubacky has created something of great value to the literature of grief and recovery.”–Lance Figueroa, entrepreneur“Profound, careful, existential, and soulful are some words to describe my experience reading Dr. Kubacky’s book, Moving Through Grief. My mother died some years ago, and I found myself activated by the contents of this book. Moving Through Grief is an excellent resource for those seeking insight about grief. Grief is isolating, intense, and sometimes confusing. With this book, Dr. Kubacky gives the griever permission to experience the full range of emotional reactions with honor and dignity–for which I am thankful.”–Ernesto Segismundo, Jr., LMFT, FYLMIT.com
