My Review:

 

Everyone experiences loss of a loved one so great, grief threatens to overwhelm them. Sure, it takes many forms, but the feeling of drowning is the same. Up Grief Creek Without a Paddle is an incredible self-help book, one I wish I’d read after the death of my father. Marti Tote writes in an approachable tone, like the caring thoughts of a friend. Each chapter lays out steps needed to travel through Grief Creek and come out the other side.

 

Let’s talk about the subject matter. Grief is personal, different for each person, and something you don’t talk about. I learned at a young age you don’t talk about how you’re feeling after loss. You move on. But in Up Grief Creek Without a Paddle, Marti Tote doesn’t want you to bottle all your feelings inside. She wants to help you deal with your feelings of loss and aloneness in healthy ways.

 

I truly connected with Marti Tote. Using the death of her beloved big sister, she shares her own grief and how she got through it. There are funny moments along with tearful moments.

 

A remarkable book on grief and healing.
