A lovely book that will both nurture and inspire those experiencing the loss of a loved one, but it would also appeal to anyone, as everyone knows someone experiencing grief....It’s an ideal format in that someone can pick it up and read one or two chapters relevant to their own process and go back again and again for reinforcement or to find sections that relate to where they are in the process. I’d definitely give this to anyone I knew who was in a period of grief. —Judge Comments, awarding First Prize in Writer's Digest 20th annual book awards.
Empathic and compassionate, A Beautiful Grief is highly recommended. —The Midwest Review
These 24 highly readable chapters offer hope and direction for grieving people and inspiration for the professionals and volunteers who care for grieving people.... [Ms. Eckl's] writing paints colorfully on the canvas of a bereaved heart, creatively addressing the questions with which grieving people struggle but about which they are often afraid to speak. —William G. Hoy, Ph.D., Assoc. of Death Education and Counseling (ADEC)
