At Evergreen Awards, we take great pride in celebrating the remarkable contributions of individuals and businesses who make a lasting impact on their communities. This year, we are honored to recognize Echoes of Love: 100 Reflections for the Grieving Heart by Esther Roseglenn as the Best Grief Support Book in the US of 2025. This book stands as a beacon of light for those navigating the darkness of loss, offering a comforting presence that speaks directly to the heart of grief.

A Grief Resource That Meets You Where You Are

Esther Roseglenn’s book Echoes of Love isn’t just another grief support guide. It is a testament to the power of empathy, presence, and understanding. Through her personal experience with loss, Esther has crafted a work that doesn’t seek to “fix” grief but to honor it in its raw, emotional form. Each of the 100 reflections within the book serves as a gentle reminder that grief is not something to overcome, but a natural expression of enduring love.

What sets Echoes of Love apart is its unwavering commitment to authenticity. Esther’s writing doesn’t provide answers or timelines. Instead, it offers space for individuals to sit with their grief, to feel seen, heard, and validated. In a world that often seeks to rush people through their pain, this book encourages the grieving to take their time and find comfort in their own emotional rhythm.

A Lifeline for the Grieving and Their Supporters

One of the reasons Echoes of Love resonates so deeply with its readers is its ability to connect on a deeply personal level. For many, grief can feel isolating, as if no one truly understands the weight of their sorrow. Esther’s work eliminates this sense of solitude, providing a companion for those who feel lost in their grief. As one Amazon reviewer poignantly shared, “This book was amazing and just touched my soul. It was as if someone reached into my brain and heart and heard all my pain and put it on paper.” This powerful sentiment is echoed across numerous five-star reviews, with many readers describing the book as “a lifeline” and “a steadying companion” during some of the darkest moments of their lives.

What makes Echoes of Love even more impactful is its versatility. Not only is it a source of comfort for those grieving, but it has also become a meaningful gift for those looking to support their loved ones. As Esther continues to build the Dear Grieving Hearts community, her mission remains clear: to provide resources that bring comfort into everyday life and help both the grieving and their supporters find steady ground.

The Heart of Esther Roseglenn’s Mission

Esther’s journey from personal loss to the creation of Echoes of Love is one marked by resilience, compassion, and an unwavering belief in the power of presence. Through Dear Grieving Hearts, Esther is not only offering books and resources but also building a community where grief can be acknowledged without shame. Her work is redefining the conversation around grief, emphasizing that it is not something to be fixed or moved on from, but a testament to love that continues to endure.

Esther’s personal story is at the heart of this mission. After losing both of her parents in her mid-twenties, Esther turned to writing as a way to navigate the overwhelming silence and ache of loss. What began as a personal reflection grew into a book that has since become a touchstone for others going through similar journeys. Her work continues to be a voice for those whose grief is often overlooked or dismissed, bringing it into the light where it can be understood and embraced.

Why Echoes of Love Stands Out

The success of Echoes of Love can be measured not only in its growing list of accolades but also in the profound impact it has had on its readers. Ranking in the Top 15 in Grief, Loss & Poetry and the Top 50 in Grief & Bereavement on Amazon, it’s clear that the book has struck a chord with many. Readers consistently describe it as a book they can return to again and again—proof of its lasting value as a source of comfort and healing.

In a genre filled with advice and solutions, Echoes of Love sets itself apart by offering no answers, only presence. The book has become a trusted companion for many on their grief journey, with each reflection serving as a reminder that they are not alone. For those seeking a grief resource that is gentle, compassionate, and truly supportive, Echoes of Love is the book that offers solace without trying to “fix” what cannot be fixed.

Echoes of Love: A Continuing Legacy

Echoes of Love is only the beginning of Esther Roseglenn’s vision for a grief support library. As the first book in a series, it is clear that Esther is committed to continuing her mission of providing resources that comfort and support those navigating grief. With companion journals and guides in the works, her body of work will continue to expand, offering both grievers and their supporters steady steps toward healing.
