GRETCHEN KUBACKY, PsyD, is a health psychologist and certified bereavement facilitator who has been working with complex grief issues for over two decades. She holds a certificate in mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and is a frequent speaker on trauma, grief and loss, and chronic and "invisible" illnesses.
"Moving Through Grief is written in a calming, understandable, and
relatable voice. Gretchen educates, but also offers practical,
easy-to-understand exercises and tasks to engage the reader in
their grief journey. Through these exercises, one can connect to
themselves and their feelings at the deepest level--and that is
where progress and healing are found. That is truly where the gift
of such grief lives."--Kate Lyon Osher, mental health and suicide
prevention advocate
"Dr. Gretchen does a great job perfectly organizing a grief manual.
This book can serve as a go-to guide for getting you back on track
after a life pitfall. In a very transparent way, she brilliantly
incorporates her own struggles with grief so that you do not feel
alone. Who would've ever thought that death is not the only
catalyst to grief? This book captures every aspect of loss or
change in life that puts us in a tragic state of mind. It also
compels you to think about your own situation deeply and take
action. It's surely a must-read self-help gem."--Renetta DuBose,
anchor/reporter, WJBF NewsChannel 6
"Dr. Kubacky gets it. Her book reads as the best friend who truly
gets the pain you feel and also as the expert who can tell you how
to move forward. She translates scientifically proven methods of
healing from loss into a practical and actionable roadmap not only
to heal but to become BETTER humans through the unavoidable pain
that comes with loss."--Amber Lyda, licensed psychologist
"Gretchen has created a grief book that includes the many places
grief touches our lives: pets, work, disability, and so many
others. It's refreshing to see all the places we encounter and cope
with grief in one book--and from the very beginning. Her ACT
approach to processing grief fits for many readers and makes
looking at your losses more approachable. If you--or a client or
loved one--are looking for a new way to cope with a loss, I would
suggest taking a look at this book. It's short enough to not be
intimidating and provides an active approach."--Jill A.
Johnson-Young, LCSW, yourpaththroughgrief.com, author of Your Own
Path Through Grief
"I was given Moving Through Grief at a time of great stress,
crisis, and loss. Dr. Gretchen Kubacky's critical advice, calm
strength, and compassionate wisdom was a buoy, a rock to cling to,
and a pillar to reflect upon. Her deft handling of a complex and
nuanced subject eased me gently into a recovery process that was
deceptively simple, but profound in its effective and lasting
results for change and growth. With actionable steps, it taught me
new ways of thinking and behaving, as well as refining skills I
already possessed, to let me navigate my way free of the caves and
shadows of bitter resentment, anger, grief, and despair. With
Moving Through Grief, Dr Kubacky has created something of great
value to the literature of grief and recovery."--Lance Figueroa,
entrepreneur
"Profound, careful, existential, and soulful are some words to
describe my experience reading Dr. Kubacky's book, Moving Through
Grief. My mother died some years ago, and I found myself activated
by the contents of this book. Moving Through Grief is an excellent
resource for those seeking insight about grief. Grief is isolating,
intense, and sometimes confusing. With this book, Dr. Kubacky gives
the griever permission to experience the full range of emotional
reactions with honor and dignity--for which I am
thankful."--Ernesto Segismundo, Jr., LMFT, FYLMIT.com
