Relationship Loss Grief

A practical guide to navigating grief and everything that comes with loss. Jeff Brazier has experienced bereavement in many forms: in his childhood; helping his two boys through the devastating death of their mother, Jade Goody; witnessing the anguish of his own mum when she lost both of her parents; and hearing the stories of his coaching clients who are coming to terms with loss. No one can be an expert on grief, but within this book Jeff provides support and guidance from someone who has been there.

We live in a grief-illiterate society. After the death of a child we often hear “there are no words.” But there are words.

Oil for Your Lantern is a series of thirty essays written by Elizabeth Brady since the sudden death of her son, Mack, from sepsis in 2012. Elizabeth’s essays move both outward and deeply inward, exploring practical, cultural, and spiritual aspects of mourning a beloved child.

But, more often than not, those words and actions only make the pain worse for the griever—it's like outsiders push the vase off the shelf and it shatters again.

What Love Took, What Grief Gave isn’t your typical self-help cheerleader. It won’t have you writing a letter to your ex and burning it under the moon.
