Self-Help & Community Building
Gone Before Gone is a self-help book to explore at your pace. You might read front-to-back or pick and choose chapters and "Do Now" exercises to fit your needs. Please breathe the whole time you are reading, reminding yourself that what has caused ambiguous loss in your life is not your fault. Study group guidance and resources at the back of the book can help you cultivate a network of people to support one another on this healing journey.
This book is a resource meant to support you — not fix you.
