Hardcore Grief Recovery: An Honest Guide to Getting through Grief without the Condolences, Sympathy, and Other BS

In my 25 years in ministry as ordained clergy, I've never encountered a better or more honest book on grief. Sure, the f-bombs land frequently enough to make you wonder if you're watching that one episode of "The Wire." Or most any HBO show, really. But so what? You know what is way more profane than a few swear words? Death. So f**k death. And f**k trite attempts at pretending otherwise. See? It's not that hard to say. Plus it's cathartic to say it. So is reading this book.

I may have missed something but with the name was not expecting it to have the Christian values base. Much better things out there .

I lost two of my Army sons to suicide. My youngest on Mothers day 2019 and my middle son last week Oct 14 2021. This book has helped me more than I can express. I have written a review already but I just feel the need to write another as I just now finished it and am starting over from the beginning. I cannot believe how real it is. It says exactly what I need to hear and if I could, I'd hug the dude that wrote this. Omg I can't believe how much this is helping me. Total high five the the author. Seriously if you want answers about what to do about your grief, this book nails it!!!

This is the 1st Grief book I read after my son died. I was stuck in my grief and was tired of the condolences and pity. I needed something that was an easy read, was to the point, and real. This book was all that and them some. I learned a lot from this book and am working on ways to heal and live with my grief as it will never go away. I also got the workbook, which is awesome. Thanks for writing such a real book on Grief.

I needed this book. It took a month before I felt ready to read it. Grief of this nature was unknown to me. The book is, as it states, “hardcore grief recovery,” which is what I searched to find. I plan on reading it again and as often as is necessary to help me with the rollercoaster of emotions after my mom’s passing.
