Grief Hack, A Creative Process for Transforming Loss, written by award-winning author Madonna Treadway, is a short, inspirational guide that walks readers through a unique creative process that can transform the experience of grief and loss into profound, life-altering realizations.
Using a four-step process, Treadway shows readers how to access the power of their imagination and engage in the healing force of their creativity to playfully reimagine their grief. On the other side of their loss, readers will find a way to connect with a rich inner life.
In this powerful book, Treadway asks the question, “Are you curious enough to turn what you believe about loss upside down?” If so, she asks us to open the pages, dive into our imagination, and transform our grief into guidance.
I love this book! Madonna provides interesting examples to illustrate how her grief hack can help people process loss. The writing is clear and welcoming. I recommend this book to anyone who faces grief—these tools for processing loss and moving forward are available to everyone, which makes the path toward healing possible immediately. It’s helpful to know there are guides like this to help those of us who struggle with grief and would benefit from looking inward, facing fear, and embracing it to get to a place of peace and empowerment on our healing journeys.
This book is very interesting for those going through a grief process. What I liked is the author included other losses besides death, such as job loss or home loss. She describes in great detail a process of imaging that can help. I believe it would best be used with a therapist rather than alone.
