While I could resonate with Corinne Laan's approach to discussing grief in general, this book didn't meet my expectations. It leaned heavily into spirituality, which didn't align with what ! was seeking for genuine support and healing.
Although I found the inclusion of herbal remedies, recipes, and detailed information on various types of grief interesting, most of the content felt like filler pages of rituals. These rituals seemed to trivialise the process of grief and healing, boiled down to setting intentions, deep breathing, and saying a prayer.
The chapter on rituals involving the five elements was particularly repetitive, reiterating the same concepts with slight variations. Additionally, I disagree with labelling the grieving process as "art." It's a deeply personal and often painful experience, and this book oversimplifies it by suggesting it could be remedied with a few breathing exercises and crystals.
