I'm excited to announce our reader review event for On the Other Side of Grief by Isabella Rose. We'll be celebrating the event's launch by sharing reviews from our community and giving you a chance to win a copy of the book and an Amazon gift card.
But before we get into what our readers thought, here's more about the book:
There is hope on the other side of grief.
Grief takes many forms—the loss of:
- A loved one
- A relationship
- Your health
- A dream
- The person you used to be
Whatever you’re grieving, On the Other Side of Grief meets you exactly where you are—no rushing, no performing, no “right” way to do this. Just the comfort of knowing that you don’t have to walk this path alone.
Compiled by Isabella Rose, this book gathers over a dozen soulful authors who share their stories of loss and the hope they found beyond it. In addition to their stories, you’ll find journal prompts, creative invitations, quiet spaces for reflection, and guided activities that you can return to again and again.
Grief can be a painful path, but it doesn’t mean your story is over.
Hope is waiting for you on the other side.

Here's what WOW! Readers had to say about On the Other Side of Grief:
"On the Other Side of Grief: A Healing Companion for Your Journey from Loss to Hope is full of interesting stories by different people who have, or do, experience some kind of grief: each story is told honestly and the experiences are raw and heartfelt. I also enjoyed the author Isabella Rose’s contributions. It was good that there were questions to think about scattered throughout the book.
This novel makes me think of my own experiences of grief. I went straight through the book, but it can be dipped into as well. I find the book good but the advice section is a little long and repetitive. It's good there are also activities." ~ Katherine H.
"What an incredible book! In this anthology, compiled by Isabella Rose, we can explore all kinds of grief. From the traditional kinds most of us know about, such as death, to the unconventional ones, such as the loss of the life we thought we knew. The author and her contributors walk us through them all, exploring the deepest emotions that we often leave unsaid.
"This book resonated with me so deeply as I feel my own types of grief lately (anticipatory, as well as grieving the life I thought I had by now), and Isabella encourages the reader to explore their own healing process. She has writing prompts and activities along the way to help you heal and explore your own grief. Whether you are grieving a loved one or feeling the grief of something you can’t put your finger on, you don’t want to miss this book." ~ Nicole P.
"On The Other Side of Grief by Isabella Rose offers a helpful way to reflect on loss through creative journal prompts. The prompts provide a starting point for exploring feelings that can be difficult to put into words. I appreciate the creative approach, which makes room for personal reflection without requiring neat answers. This is a thoughtful choice for anyone who finds comfort in writing as they navigate grief." ~ Ellen C.
"On the Other Side of Grief opened up my understanding of grief. For most of my life I equated grief with the loss of a person through death. This book showed me that we can grieve for people lost in many ways beside death and well as the loss of other things and aspects of life.
"This book has four sections: one on the many faces of grief, one with personal essays from contributors about their grief, one about how grief can affect you mentally, physically and spiritually and a section of actions you can take to help yourself deal with your grief. I feel these complementary sections work together, the loss of one section would make this book less effective. For instance, I was drawn to the sections on actions to take to deal with grief but if I hadn't read the section on the many types of grief I might not be able to label some of my experiences and emotions as grief.
"This is a book I feel many people will benefit from reading both for when they experience grief and when they are trying to support someone else. It is a low pressure book, perfect for someone who is going through a difficult time. You don't have to read straight through from page 1 to page 295. You can jump around, reading a few pages from a section that you need at a particular time. There is also an abundance of resources focused on the US, Canada and Australia, as well as some resources that can be accessed worldwide. It feels like a book you will return to again and again." ~ Jodi W.
"What an interesting collection of essays, prompts, and musings on grief. This anthology includes a variety of points of view and situations offering hope and healing for anyone (all of us) who have or will navigate a loss. Highly recommended for anyone facing the sadness, confusion, frustration, and despair of these things. It would make a great gift, too." ~ Nita S.
