For anyone faced with the pain of having lost someone they love, this book is an honest resource for navigating grief’s challenges.

When someone you love dies, the depth of your pain is beyond measure—you wonder how the world keeps moving when yours has come to a screeching halt. Exhausted from powering through the pain just to get through the day, you may wonder how—or if—you’ll ever get through this, or if you’re even grieving the right way.

In The Road Through Grief, Barbara Hill blends personal stories with trusted research, offering relief by challenging outdated beliefs about grief while providing practical, actionable advice. You will learn how to:

Navigate early grief, moving through numbness and uncertainty.

Recognize that your feelings are valid—your grief is real, and you’re not alone.

Find ways to keep going even when the way forward feels impossible.

Challenge common grief myths, such as the belief that you must “move on.”

Use the practical tools and proven strategies in this book to help process grief.

Grieve on your terms, in your own time, in the way that feels right for you.

Throughout, Hill offers guidance and reassurance. She explains that grief is unpredictable and that memory triggers, misguided comments, and the “three-month mark”—when support begins to fade —are all natural parts of the process. Most importantly, she reveals a bittersweet truth: grief isn’t just about loss—it’s about love and learning to carry it forward.

This heart-to-heart from someone who's been there is real and relatable—and filled with compassion.
