This book creates a new mental model for how to think about and integrate grief into your life. As someone who has been through very traumatic loss in my life, the BloomPath was an extremely helpful way to think about how the world around me had changed and which parts I could lean into to help me with my emotions. The author also does a great job bringing an empathetic writing style and beautifully weaves together the best known scientific information as it relates to grief with the human element. Also, I really enjoyed the parts of this book where the author writes with more of a memoir style. Lastly, I really appreciated that this book can be very deep and there are parts worth re-reading, but it is also fairly short allowing an easier way to digest initial thoughts and then go back for more depth when needed. I hope others find this book and model of thinking as helpful as I did!
Also, full disclosure the author is part of my family, but I tried to be as impartial as possible when discussing and reviewing this book.
