When is the last time someone talked about grief and it wasn't at a funeral? Maybe we see someone on social media share a picture of a loved one who died too soon to commemorate their birthday, but the reality is that grief can be experienced before someone dies and long after. I'm so glad Marisa wrote this book to talk about this complex feeling and to truly validate the challenges experienced with losing someone.
I think my favorite quote that could summarize this book is: "We are irrevocably changed when we lose someone we love because so much of who we are is a reflection of the people who love us and now one of those people is gone." and "The death of a loved one, of someone you hold dear, should change you. That is their mark on the world. You are their mark on this world."
If these quotes resonate with you or you're struggling with your own loss (my heart goes out to you friend), this book is for you.
This book may not be for everyone given the heavy topics though so please know this book contains: loss of parent, miscarriage, infertility, & grief (duh!)

Your grief matters. The love you had for the person you lost is still there. It matters.
