The Understanding Your Grief Support Group Guide: Starting and Leading a Bereavement Support Group Paperback – June 1, 2004

This is s very well-written, helpful resource for anyone thinking of starting a grief support group. Covers all the basics as well as the complex reality of bereavement.

This book has been a helpful resource for me in ministry in Grief and Loss Counseling

This book covers so much and as a griever myself I thought this book touched on some areas that other books seem to avoid. I found the information very helpful. Starting a group has more to it than I first thought. I will be much more successsful in my endeavors for having read this book.

As a hospice chaplain and pastoral counselor I conduct Grief Support groups. This book is a good read for those who are spiritual companions.

Very useful for starting a small group. Totally recommend it

Great resource for beginning a basic grief support group. Easy to follow format with practical applications. Definitely need the companion books and journal to grasp the full content but could get by if had too with just this.

Good, basic information about grief support. I'm a social worker by training (but not a therapist) and have extensive experience in leading and facilitating group process. This little book (99 pages) has some solid information for those who've never led groups.I'm a hospice volunteer and we're starting a bereavement support group so I've found the ideas helpful, but nothing that's really new. If you've led even basic groups, you will already know most of this information--particularly if you've experienced the kinds of personal loss and grief the author describes (and, who hasn't if they've over the age of 35?).The layout of the book, particularly capitalization, indentation, etc. are odd. It makes me stop reading to figure out what's being communicated. The book could have done with someone to do copy editing and layout. This appears to be a vantage press (or at least a very small press) product that was done with little editorial oversight. Still, it's a valuable contribution for those in need of entry-level information.

I was already set to facilitate this small group, but needing some additional help and advice.

One of the best books on this subject

Great for the new group facilitator. Not so pleased that it is part of a set. Selling as a set strikes me as too commercial.

This book was very easy to use and to follow, I found it incredibly detailed and very helpful

Very repetitive.
