Grief is not something you fix, it's something you honour. First Year of Grief Club: A Gift From From A Friend Who Gets It. (Not someone who would ever claim to know exactly how you're feeling, but from someone who gets that flowers, condolences, and casseroles are just the beginning.) Starting from the first day, it provides a companion through the first year of what Addison Brasil calls real-life grief. The daily, and then weekly offerings are manageable check-ins from a friend who gets it. It's a way of showing your support and also remaining a pillar of support for a year after the loss or the death of a loved one.Author Addison Brasil is no stranger to loss and has spent thirteen years in the Grief Club arena. He lost his brother to cancer, found his father after suicide, and survived a fatal accident that killed a dear friend and left him relearning to walk. And yet still when friends or family experienced loss he would freeze - not wanting to send flowers, empty condolences, or food when he knew the realities of grief are so much more. Out of that comes this book and journal. An alternative to the usual gifts and condolences that will stay with those grieving for the first year of the journey and beyond.It's like having your own personal grief club with you every step of the way. The perfect gift for anyone experiencing loss and to support someone going through it.

CHIP CONLEY New York Times Bestselling Author, Founder of Modern Elder Academy, and Wisdom Well"Having had the privilege of becoming friends with Addison, I can confidently say that few people speak about healing grief through finding meaningful connection and service as eloquently and thoughtfully as he does. In his book, he shares deeply valuable perspectives that have helped me find the tools and approaches to healing that I had yet to uncover previously. If you or someone you know is suffering, I could not recommend more highly taking the opportunity to immerse yourself into this book."ZAK WILLAMS: Mental Health Advocate, Founder You Can Pym"There is no right or wrong way to grieve.
