Overview

Living with Waves is a collection of poems which explores the complexities of loss and how a grief journey changes shape over time. Within each poem are unique moments of mourning brought on by loss through suicide, cancer, and dementia. The speaker confronts a discomfort with death and questions grieving rituals in American society. A societal tendency to avoid difficult conversations surrounding death informs how people experience grief. This collection encourages readers to start these conversations within themselves and with those they are grieving alongside.

Megan Griffin's Living with Waves is an emotional dam which threatens to burst, but doesn't. This searingly raw collection explores the masks people don to camouflage the pain and confusion that goes hand-in-hand with mourning the loss of someone whom they love. From losses that happen seemingly out of nowhere to those that unfold slowly, Griffin delves into spiritual agony of unanswered questions left as unwelcome legacies as well as the wistful, palpable sweetness of tender moments. -Meredith O'Brien, novelist and creative nonfiction author
