A gift when you don’t have the words to say...

I bought this gift for a student of mine who lost their parents. They shared they were worried about forgetting memories about them. Thank you for creating something that allows people to gift something to those who are hurting.

Essential. For all on the grief journey.

At times, incredibly hard, but with such a safe & gentle feeling. Challenging, beautiful, painfully heartbreaking and equally heart-warming. An amazing resource for all those experiencing, or have experienced grief. No matter where you find yourself upon your journey. Kindest thanks and sincere gratitude.

A safe place to land

I have found so much comfort in between the pages of this beautiful journal - it’s been my safe place to land, a capsule to explore, express and honour all that is within.

Perfect bereavement guide

I purchased a number of copies of Grief: A guided journal to gift to clients. I am a bereavement counsellor and I found the journal a fabulous companion for my clients when I was not with them. The journal is thoughtfully put together and the kindness and compassion grieving individuals need was evident in every page. Simply perfect ❤️

Beautiful journal

I purchased this for a friend who recently lost her husband. I had a look through when it arrived and it is such a beautiful journal. I hate that Jo was in the position to create such a book but I love that this beautiful resource now exists for others.

An Excellent Companion for a Grief Journey

I bought one of these journals several years ago for a friend who lost her young adult son. I asked her if she found it helpful and she said she did. So I bought another one to have on hand should a friend or I need it. I thought I would be giving it to a friend who lost her husband, but then she passed before I was able to give it to her. Recently, my uncle (mother's side died) and then, my dad died. I asked my husband to bring the journal when he picked me up from my mom's house after being there several weeks. He did and as we were eating dinner the night before we were to travel home, we got the call that my brother was in the hospital so we all drove there to be with him. He died a few days later. I promptly ordered the journal for myself and my niece, my brother's daughter. 3 deaths in less than 2 1/2 months in our family so I felt we all needed this as one tool for helping us process our grief.

I bought this for a friend who lost her son a few years ago. She found it helpful so I bought another to have on hand. I ended up giving that to my mom when my dad died. Shortly after that, my brother died so I bought one for myself and for my niece (his daughter) and we have all found it to be very helpful.

Really nice journal

I bought this journal after my mom passed away from cancer. It arrived in great condition, plus the handwritten note and sweet message included in the box is such a nice touch. I’ve just started this grief journey but I think this will be a great tool to help me along the way.

Buy this book when you don’t know what to do to help someone who is grieving

I have purchased this beautiful book for a number of friends who have experienced a loss of a loved one. They have all told me that it has been a fantastic resource to help them during this time. A wonderful gift to share what you don’t know what to do to help someone who is grieving.

Jo's story is too close to home - which is what I needed.

Having lost my partner and soul mate suddenly to a heart attack in November, I have been at a loss, trying to deal with the grief. It was sudden, one moment I was kissing him goodbye (he was heading home) and the next moment I was watching ambulance officers perform CPR on him. I had purchased 3 other books on grief before I came across this, and whilst I don't consider myself a writer, I have found this book to be so cathartic by breaking things down into smaller manageable chunks in a time where just getting out of bed can feel hard. I am only part the way through this book, but have just bought another 3 copies as gifts.

Loss of my young dad

I haven't completed this, as I know it's supposed to be over time, however there's questions in here that are very thoight provoking & writing my feelings into this book has given me the strength to actually feel my grief wholly & allow me to keep living, and enjoying the small things, like my dad did. For me this was another way, ontop of my grief counsellor, to feel my way through the distraught feelings of loss properly.

Amazing gift for the hardest times.

Jo’s Grief journal is the perfect gift for anyone you know who is dealing with loss. There is no manual for navigating grief but this journal provides some direction and comfort in the darkest times when you cannot see a way forward. It’s not a gift you ever want to have to buy for a loved one but it’s the PERFECT gift for those moments in life when you don’t know what else to do to help someone who is in so much pain. Thank you Jo for transforming your own personal journey with grief in to a tool that is providing a path of light for others walking that dark and lonely path. You’re amazing.

Thank you for the gift of comfort

Hi Jo, I gifted this beautiful book to my friend who just lost her husband and father of their two boys suddenly earlier this year. She called me the next day to say how beautiful the journal is and how you had thought of everything. You are truly amazing and it shows in this beautiful journal. Thank you again

Grateful

Hi Jo, I know it's been a while....but, as you know all too well, this does need lots of "whiles", doesn't it. And for me, to "fit in" the journaling two very different kinds of grief does challenge me a lot. My mother, who passed away after years of dementia. 2 of my 3 girls, who decided to quit our relationship....prodigals, which is nearly worse. Your book most certainly helps, to "frame" my reflections, being understood! At the same time, I am going alongside 2 dear friends who also lost loved ones. Sending much love and encouragement to you, from Anna
