Survival Guide: Navigating the Holidays After Loss (Expanded Version)

All attendees of a GriefShare Surviving the Holidays event will need this book. If you are hosting a Surviving the Holidays event for the first time, you’ll need to purchase the Surviving the Holidays Kit, which includes 5 expanded books and all the event tools you’ll need. This book can also be purchased as a stand-alone resource for individuals experiencing the loss of a loved one.

About the Book   
Survival Guide: Navigating the Holidays After Loss by GriefShare is a practical, Christ-centered resource for those facing the holidays after losing a loved one. The expanded version offers even more expert insight, personal stories, biblical hope, and practical tools to help readers feel seen, supported, and equipped. 

Readers will gain:

• Expert wisdom from seasoned counselors, pastors, and grief experts who speak directly to the heartache of the season
• Practical tools and planning exercises to help readers prepare emotionally, socially, and spiritually for holiday events and traditions
• Journaling prompts and reflection spaces that allow people to process their grief at their own pace
• Christ-centered hope that reminds readers they are not alone and that God is present even in their pain

• Offer to people in your church who may be struggling during the holidays.
• Use this book as a supplement for your GriefShare group around the holidays.
