Dear Friend, When we understand what grief is and what grief does, which is what's normal for grief, it's a lot easier to navigate our personal healing journey in a healthy and productive way.

Either way the information in this book is your roadmap for walking through the pain of grief and healing. And it doesn't matter how long ago the death occurred. Healing is absolutely possible.
Plan A Workshop or Grief Support Session

Linda's work as a professional is one of compassion and caring. No one can speak better to a person who is grieving than one who has been through it themselves. Linda has been there. In reference to her book on grieving, I have read several books that address the topic, but have found none to really compare to the outstanding work that she has completed with "Grieving Forward: Death Happened, Now What?" available on Amazon.com and through her ministry. - Thomas Lampert, CFP®, ChFC®, CLU®, CKA®
Grieving the death of a loved one involves pain and hard work. Regardless of when, where, or how the death occurred, initially most survivors are in shock. Cathy Clough and Linda Pouliot step into the griever’s shoes and ask the question: Death Happened Now What? Knowing from their personal experiences and research that grief may impact a survivor mentally, physically, emotionally, socially, and/or spiritually, the authors journey with the survivors through the grief process. This succinct resource, Death Happened Now What? leads to what the authors call a “New Normal.” - Nancy L. Stoner
