Surviving Grief

Eric’s Resilience Coaching practice is rooted in personal experience. His book Surviving Grief is a sincere and heartfelt guide born from Eric’s personal journey through loss. Inspired by his volunteer work co-facilitating grief groups with the Toronto chapter of Bereaved Families of Ontario, Eric shares his story about the profound losses of his partner of 24 years, Rod, and his mother, just 11 months apart.

In sharing his journey, Eric demonstrates how connecting with others—sharing experiences and listening—can ease pain, bring comfort, and remind us that we’re not alone. However, not everyone has access to grief support or knows where to turn after losing a loved one. This book aims to bridge that gap.

Grief is a deeply personal experience, moulded by your relationship with the person, your culture, personality, and life story. With honesty and vulnerability, Surviving Grief provides practical tools, personal insights, and compassionate guidance to help you find your own way through loss. Whether you’re grieving the loss of a spouse, partner, parent, close friend, or even a beloved pet, this book offers hope, understanding, and ideas to help you move forward.
