podcast, and was excited to read Your Grief, Your Way. I found Your
Grief, Your Way to be tremendously helpful. It is written for the
grieving brain—short sections with easy-to-digest passages and
practical suggestions. Shelby writes with compassion and wisdom;
her words help the reader feel seen and understood.”

compassionate, comforting, and nurturing while also offering
immensely helpful, practical advice for the grieving at the very
same time. Forsythia is a sturdy, wise guide who has already been
there for anyone going through this painful and confusing journey.
This is a book that could help everyone who has lost someone."

implement. An invaluable resource for anyone making their way into
grief." —Jana DeCristofaro, LCSW, The Dougy Center for
Grieving Children & Families and host of the Grief Out Loud

"Shelby Forsythia just wrote the book we should all run out and get
after our loss. Shelby delivers exactly what the bereaved’s
brain needs and what the heart is longing for. She makes the
hard days of life after loss feel a little gentler by breaking it
all down to daily wisdom and insights. It will feel like a
breath of fresh air in days when breathing feels almost too hard to
do. This book will stay by your bedside for many months to
come." —Christina Rasmussen, author of Second Firsts
