DIANE P. BRENNAN is a licensed mental health counselor specializing in grief and loss. In 2018, she founded The 20-20 Grief Project to focus on talking with people about their losses from more than 20 years ago. This is a project of shared human connectedness, vulnerability, and kindness for those sharing and listening to these stories of pain and loss.
A Daughter's Grief Journal provides insights, awareness, and healing action for daughters mourning the loss of a mother. Brennan does a wonderful job of balancing education from current grief theories with active, hands-on, reflective activities to help daughters process grief. Full of thought-provoking and introspective activities, Brennan's expertise in grief and bereavement also makes this a valuable resource for any clinician working with clients mourning the loss of a parent. --Dr. Heather Robertson, LMHC, chair of the Counselor Education Dept., St. John's University This is not an ordinary grief journal!
