What Grieving People Wish You Knew by Nancy Guthrie**

 ....About What Really Helps (and What Really Hurts)

Mrs. Guthrie and her husband lost two children to the same disease. They are cohosts of the GriefShare video series. 

If I owned this book, I would have been highlighting and underlining as I read. With a personal tone, Mrs. Guthrie shares how to interact and how NOT to interact with someone who is grieving. She includes stories and insights from grieving people. 

It is very easy reading-an elementary student could read it (maybe not mature enough for the topic).

Chapters: What to Say (and Not to Say), Typical Things People Say (and What You Can Say Instead), Assumptions We Make That Keep Us Away (and Why We Should Simply Show Up), What to Do (and What Not to Do), Social Media and Grief (and When the "Like" Button Just Seems Wrong), Let's Talk about Heaven (and Hell), & A Few Quick Questions

-Borrowed from my church library

**Highly, highly recommend.
