This book is both a testament to weaving grief into the fabric of our lives and a gift for anyone who has known the ache of loss and the grace of glimpses that help us keep going. -Carla Fernandez, author of Renegade Grief and co-founder of The Dinner Party Katie Huey has an ability to paint more than just pictures with her words. I see the room, hear the quiet sounds, taste the shortbread. I feel each of her emotions as they squeeze my heart and whisper solidarity. -Annie Herzig, author and illustrator of Wonder & Awe Katie writes with courage and makes grief feel less like something to just ""get over"" and more a simultaneously painful and beautiful part of being a person that we slowly discover. Through careful noticing and honesty, the book feels like a companion for anyone experiencing grief or pain-which, at some level, is all of us. -Zach Mercurio, PhD, author of The Power of Mattering From the outset of her grief journey Katie Huey did something unusual.
