"There are very few resources written by authors of African descent to address the enormous need of learning how to wrestle with Good Grief. Ed Mason provides a stellar resource to help communities of all backgrounds to face this inevitable challenge called grief." -Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III, Senior Pastor, Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago, IL

"At first reading "Good Grief" was tough because I am one of those people who avoid the topic of death, but no more. I laughed and became emotional as Ed Mason dressed up the subject of death in the best way possible. The book was a page turner for me. It helped me prepare for what undoubtedly is going to come." - Thurman Chisholm, retired educator and social worker, Chicago Public Schools

"Through the stories told in Good Grief, we get a clear picture that like our grief and mourning, funerals and Homegoing celebrations are as different as we are. I also appreciate the thought provoking questions that Ed Mason includes as well as the silver linings that he highlights throughout." -Jenny Dilts, Founder of Grieving Coach and podcast host of Share Your Story: Exploring Humanity One Heart at a Time, Martinez, CA
