About The Books
Adult Version
The Good Grieve is a book rooted in expression–for communities and cultures who have long been taught to be strong and to be quiet. For many, this leads to some unhealthy ways of suppressing and diminishing the impact of their life events, and not recognizing trauma for what it is.
With The Good Grieve and Marceia Cork’s simple G.R.I.E.F. framework and exercises, the author provides a toolkit for exploring what life can look like after loss, trauma and hardship–and she does it in a way that cleanses, heals and releases the weight of what holds us from the joyful life that we still want and deserve.
This book reminds people who are grieving that it is also okay to explore the positives that can run alongside their pain, and to courageously reset memories to create new impressions on the brain — new visuals and imagery — that hadn’t existed before. Quite often we relive painful memories and flashbacks the same way over and over again. This book empowers the reader to reclaim the parts of their brain long occupied with negative thoughts and memories by seeing them in a different way.
Marceia Cork brands herself as “The Change Coach” so when she approaches the topic of grief she often asks alongside it, “As you heal, what do you want next?”
Marceia has commented, “Not everyone seeks or prefers traditional therapy and clinical diagnosis. That said, I intend to make a path to mental health and healing that is non-clinical, self-paced and nurtures the sense of agency and want for being a better version of themselves. “This is ‘the good grieve’ and life after it.”
Youth Version
People always say, “Kids are so resilient.” Are you one of those “resilient” kids? If you are now an adult supporting a child through their grief, were you also once one of those seemingly “resilient” kids?
My Good Grieve gives kids the space and guidance to grieve and express themselves after hurt and hard times. It’s especially great for kids who’ve felt silenced to keep up the appearance of being so strong and resilient. Sometimes that can lead to us not dealing with our tough experiences in a healthy way, and not realizing that we or the young people we support might be going through some serious stuff. That unhealthy way of coping follows us into adulthood.
Marceia Cork’s simple G.R.I.E.F. method and exercises give young people a toolkit to navigate life after loss, trauma, or just plain old hard times. A lot of times, we replay painful memories in our heads the same way, and we don’t talk about them. But My Good Grieve gives kids the control and courage to see things differently–to expand how they remember things, to create new, positive images in young minds, and to structure healthy statements to communicate feelings and the support they desire.
Marceia knows that not everyone wants traditional therapy and clinical solutions, and that sometimes we need a path that can be non-clinical and self-paced. This is My Good Grieve: a book about giving young people–and the adults who support them–the tools and outlets they need to take action and control along their mental health journey.
