Grief Is Love

Meer over het boek

A trusted grief expert presents a humanizing exploration of coping with loss. The author reveals that healing does not mean moving on after losing a loved one; rather, it involves acknowledging and creating space for your grief. It’s about continuing to love the one you lost with the same depth, passion, joy, and commitment as when they were alive, perhaps even more. She guides you through the pain of grief, whether the loss is recent or long past, and shows how to honor your loss on your own terms, debunking the idea of rigid stages or timelines. This work emphasizes making space for the transformation that significant loss requires. In compassionate prose, the author shares her wisdom on authentically claiming space for grief's complex emotions. Drawing from her own experiences of losing her mother, a pregnancy, and a cousin to COVID-19, she reflects on what grief truly is and what healing looks like. The book also addresses the unique impact of grief on Black individuals, highlighting essential factors for healing: permission, care, feeling, and grace. Ultimately, it explores the legacy left by those we love and demonstrates that by honoring our losses, we can still find beauty and joy amid grief.
