is this grief?

by Hayley Solich

a gentle, practical guide to help you make sense of Grief, no matter what the source of that grief is - and find your footing again, one step at a time.

Grief will touch every one of us.

Yet most of us are never shown how to identify it or walk through it.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, exhausted, or unsure how to move forward after loss - no matter what the source of that loss might be - you are not alone.  And you are not broken.

There is a way to move through grief with understanding, strength and hope.

This book shows you how.

Grief can feel confusing, lonely, and endless.

You may recognise this experience:

  • You feel a different person after loss
  • Your emotions come in a wave you cannot control
  • Other expect you to 'move on' before you are ready
  • You feel pressure to stay strong while hurting inside
  • You wonder if you will ever feel like yourself again.

I understand this space deeply.

Because I have walked it.

For over 30 years, grief has been a part of my own journey - through personal loss, life transitions and working alongside people navigating profound change.

What I learned changed everything.

Grief is not the enemy.

Resistance to grief is.

What if your grief could become
a pathway for growth?

grief is natural
resistance creates suffering
understanding creates healing

Why i wrote this book
Hi guys!

My work has always been about helping people step out of survival and into growth.

Through my own experiences of loss — and decades working with carers, families, and communities — I saw how many people suffer simply because they were never shown how to grieve.

We are taught how to achieve.

We are taught how to succeed.
But we are rarely taught how to heal.

Is this Grief?
  is the book I wish more people had when life changed for them.

It offers lived wisdom, practical guidance, and gentle reflection to help you navigate grief with clarity and compassion.
