Grace in Grief is a powerful story — a ‘must’ for all who struggle with deep grief, and for all who seek to support others. It is an easy–to–read, frank, encompassing, helpful and heartfelt account of Rosalie Follett´s grief journey, after the unexpected death of her husband in March 2005.
Marcia Stillwell, Bereavement Co-ordinator, Adelaide Hills Community Health Service.

Rosalie bares her soul and documents her personal thoughts, fears and emotions with refreshing honesty and a sincere empathy for all who grieve. She places into the context of her personal experience the ‘tasks of grief’, with all their raw emotions (Worden, Grief Counselling and Grief Therapy, 1991). This is a story that needs to be read slowly and reflectively, in order to absorb the impact of each phase. She traces in detail her first year as a widow, and then reflects on the second and third years. Grief´s Lessons summarises all that she learns on the journey.

A deep faith in God is an integral part of her life. She clearly articulates her commitment and her struggles as she confronts the challenges.

“The great strength of Grace in Grief is its extreme honesty – the reader is given access to real humanity engaging real faith through the many shocks, pains and unpredictabilities of the different seasons of the grief journey. Rosalie gives us an unflinching insight into the grief experience, and valuable resources for both those who are grieving and those who seek to support them.”
