I live overseas and my childhood best friend lost her son in a tragic accident. I want to send her a care package and I would like to include a book. I have dealt with a lot of grief, nothing like what she is experiencing now, but I do know how particular igrief is so I don't want to send her a book with the typical platitudes.
Do you have any recommendations?
The two books that are sticking out are
1. It's ok that your not ok by Megan Devine
2. Hardcore Grief recovery: An honest guide to getting through grief without the condolences, sympathy and other bs by Steve Case

This was asked a few times here or on suggestmeabook. If you type grief into the search of each sub you might find the posts I’m thinking of. There were a TON of answers for non-platitude books I just can’t seem to remember them
Edit: found the thread but can’t link it. See below for the info
The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
