Author Description

Surviving Grief is a heartfelt and honest guide born from Eric’s deeply personal journey through loss. Inspired by his volunteer work co-facilitating grief groups with the Toronto chapter of Bereaved Families of Ontario, Eric opens up about the profound losses of his partner of 24 years, Rod, and his mother, just 11 months apart.<br/><br/>In sharing his story, Eric reveals how connecting with others—sharing experiences and listening to theirs—can ease the pain, bring comfort, and remind us that we’re not alone. Yet, not everyone has access to grief support or knows where to turn after losing a loved one. This book aims to bridge that gap.<br/><br/>Grief is a profoundly individual experience, shaped by your relationship with the person, your culture, personality, and life journey. With raw honesty and vulnerability, Surviving Grief offers practical tools, personal insights, and compassionate guidance to help you navigate your own path through loss.<br/><br/>Whether you’re grieving the death of a spouse, partner, parent, close friend, or even a beloved pet, this book is here to offer hope, understanding, and ideas to help you move forward.
