About The Book
Mistypes of grief keep us stuck. Grieftypes names twelve distinct ways people mourn — so you can stop asking “am I grieving right?” and start healing in your own way.
your grief, your wayGrieftypes gently maps the landscape of loss. Instead of judging your grief against someone else’s, this book helps you recognize your own pattern — and gives you language for it.
Written with warmth and clinical insight, each chapter explores one of the grief types Dr. Dodds has encountered across years of practice — how it feels from the inside, how it is often misunderstood, and what genuinely helps.
Recognize your type
Identify the unique shape of your mourning.
Release the guilt
Stop measuring your grief against others’.
Heal your way
Practical, compassionate steps for your pattern.
Words From Gentle Readers
I finally understood why I grieved nothing like my sister. This book gave me permission to mourn as myself — and to stop apologizing for it.
As a counselor, I recommend Grieftypes to clients constantly. Naming the type of grief changes the entire conversation about healing.
After losing my husband, everyone told me how I should feel. Dr. Dodds told me how I do feel — and that made all the difference.
Our book club read it in one sitting. Everyone found their type — and then found their mother's, and finally understood her.
I have sat with hundreds of grievers. This is the first book that honors the quiet, practical mourners as much as the visible ones.
Compassionate, clear, and quietly profound. The chapter on practical grievers described me so exactly that I cried — finally.
I bought it for a friend after her loss and ended up reading it myself. Gentle, honest, and never once preachy.
Clinically sound yet deeply human. The twelve-type framework now sits on my desk, dog-eared, beside my DSM.
I am the loyal griever she writes about — the one who kept the voicemails. Reading my own chapter felt like being seen for the first time.
Every support group should hand this out. It ends the silent competition of whose grief looks correct.
