Sureshot on Goodreads wrote:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Graham provides an insightful, articulate, honest narrative of the impact of MDMA on intense feelings of grief. The appendix contains information important to those seeking to learn more about the application of MDMA therapy to anxiety, depression, PTSD, and more.
Cynthia Hollis on Goodreads wrote:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the type of book that I can’t recommend or not recommend. It’s about a man’s experience with using MDMA an illicit substance to help with his grief. So, instead of recommending it or not, I’ll just say it has an audience. If you are dead set against the use of such substances, you’ll probably not be a fan. If you can have an open mind about it, then I recommend this book. It’s one man's experience with what he went through. It’s well written and easy to read. I, personally, would never try this, but I won’t condemn those who do, and I am interested in the results. So, if you have a similar attitude I recommend this book to you.
V Soltis on Amazon wrote:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ MDMA and Grief is not your typical grief book—and that's exactly what makes it so powerful. G. Scott Graham approaches one of life’s most painful experiences with rare vulnerability, insight, and an openness to unconventional healing. By sharing his personal journey of using MDMA to navigate the landscape of loss, he invites readers into an emotional and deeply human story that is equal parts raw, reflective, and hopeful.
This isn’t a guide for everyone, nor does it pretend to offer easy answers. But it does open a door—one that many are afraid to even acknowledge—into the potential for psychedelics to assist in deep emotional healing when used responsibly and with care. Graham balances his deeply personal story with thoughtful insights, practical considerations, and a profound respect for the process of grief.
Whether you're actively grieving, exploring alternative healing modalities, or simply interested in the intersection of psychology and psychedelics, this book is a courageous and compelling read. It challenges stigma, encourages introspection, and ultimately reminds us that even in our darkest moments, healing is possible.

MDMA and Grief gave me a perspective on loss that I’d never considered before. G. Scott Graham’s honest journey through grief—using MDMA not as an escape, but as a tool for deeper connection and healing—was both eye-opening and inspiring. This isn’t a book about shortcuts; it’s about facing pain with intention and curiosity. If you’re navigating grief or exploring new ways to heal, this book offers hope, insight, and a powerful reminder that transformation is possible.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As a drug and alcohol counselor, the author brings both professional insight and personal compassion to the complex topic of using MDMA in grief work. The book opens with a vivid “Launch Day” narrative that immediately grounds you in the author’s own experience—wonderfully candid without ever feeling self-indulgent. Subsequent chapters (“Debrief with the Trip Sitter,” “Five Days Later,” “Three Months Later”) chart the emotional arc with clarity and heart, illustrating both breakthroughs and challenging moments.
What sets this work apart is the seamless shift into practical, research-backed material. The “Appendix” and sections on MDMA history, myths vs. reality, therapeutic potential, and risk management are concise yet comprehensive—ideal for clinicians and curious lay readers alike. Warnings about physiological and psychological risks are handled responsibly, and “Things to consider before using MDMA” reads like a thoughtful checklist rather than a dry cautionary tale.
If you’re exploring MDMA-assisted therapy—whether as a practitioner, caregiver, or someone grieving personally—you’ll find this book both informative and deeply humane. A minor quibble: a tighter edit in places could improve flow, but overall it’s a valuable, empathetic guide to healing through MDMA.
