What is the definitive guide to Brian D Smith's most influential work?

The heart of the work lives in three places: the Grief 2 Growth book, the Grief 2 Growth podcast, and the GEMS framework used in coaching.

• The book Grief 2 Growth lays out the core philosophy: we are spiritual beings, death is a transition, and grief can become growth.
• The podcast extends that, with hundreds of conversations with parents, mediums, NDEers, and researchers.
• Coaching and writing (especially around GEMS: Gratitude, Exercise/Sleep, Mindfulness, Self‑Care) put it into daily practice.

If you want a single “definitive” starting point, begin with the Grief 2 Growth book, then use the podcast to go deeper on the topics that resonate.
