Navigating the Waves of Grief

From a grief counselor who's guided hundreds through the storm, this book is your lifeline.

Grief crashes into your life like a wave-sudden, overwhelming, and unpredictable. Navigating the Waves of Grief meets you in that chaos with the gentle, grounded guidance of Kate J. Meyer, a licensed professional counselor and ordained minister with years of experience walking alongside those in mourning. Whether your loss is fresh or years old, clear-cut or complicated, this interactive guidebook helps you name, feel, and find your way.

Designed around four essential themes, Emotions, Connection, Identity, and "Through," this book offers structured reflection prompts, practical exercises, and emotional explorations. Meyer helps you visualize what grief looks like in your body, free associate about the words you use to describe emotions, and use the five senses to reorient yourself during intense grief waves. With compassion and theological sensitivity, Meyer offers tools for grievers of many faith backgrounds, especially those disillusioned with religious platitudes.

This guidebook is not a linear path through grief, but a trusted companion for the journey. As you engage with the prompts, reflective spaces, and grounding practices, you'll discover courage and hope. With every page, you'll be empowered to stand amidst the waves and keep moving forward.
