After my Dad died, the book that really helped me was ‘on death and dying’ by dr. Elizabeth kubler ross

My vote goes to Elizabeth Kubler Ross “On Death and Dying”. I am a social worker, have suffered many losses and she is my hero!!

Joan Didions “Year of Magical Thinking” – so good.

A Grief Observed CS LEWIS excellent They made an equally good movie Shadowlands from this book. Bot we’re helpful when my husband died.
I am very sorry for your loss. Something I would recommend (at some point in the next year) is Three Philosophies of Life by Peter Kreeft. While not directly about grief, it addresses, well.. philosophy of life. And I know after the unexpected loss of my niece, that was something I needed to think about.
Dorothy Rowe does really good practical books on this subject Rebecca, they helped me a lot.
