This free companion guide is the perfect place to begin.
Developed alongside The Loss Prescription (HarperCollins, 2024), this downloadable guide offers a gentle, psychologically grounded introduction to understanding your grief: what it is, what it is doing inside you, and how healing can begin.
It is for anyone who has experienced loss in any form, including bereavement, relationship breakdown, identity change, or the quieter losses that are harder to name, and who is looking for an honest, compassionate starting point.
No pressure. No timelines. Just a first step, taken gently, at your own pace.

Format: PDF digital guide, 8 pages, instant download. Also suitable for professionals supporting others through grief.
