“When a friend suffers a death in the family, one often doesn’t quite know what to do for them. Rich Ballo’s new book is more than a journal; it is replete with practical ideas to cope with death of a loved one, drawn from his own grief experience. This book would make a gentle gift for a survivor on their grief journey.” — Diana Jacks, Ph.D., author of the award-winning book, Here to There, Grief to Peace

“I wish I had read Rich’s journal when my 54-year-old husband died a few years ago after being sick for only two months. The Heart of Grief Relief Journal brings hope, just when it is needed most, validating that grief is a process, not an event. I recommend it for anyone who is bereaved and believe it will be an important resource for grief support groups in hospices, churches, and other organizations.” —Karla Wheeler, founder of Quality of Life Publishing Co., publishers of numerous award-winning grief support books

“I think Rich Ballo’s The Heart of Grief Relief Journal will help anyone who has experienced a loss, especially grieving teens. After my dad died when I was 14, journaling became a safe place for me to not only write down words, but also to draw pictures as a healthy outlet for my sometimes-overwhelming emotions.” — Jenny Lee Wheeler, author of the national award-winning book Weird Is Normal When Teenagers Grieve
