Overview

""Her death hit me on a level I did not realize existed. Because of that, I learned new things about grief. Mostly, I learned what it means to live grief, to be one with it. And I learned the ways that grief is an extension of our love for the one we lost. It walks with us, it ages with us 'like a necessary guest you need to accommodate.'""-From the Introduction to Losing Katy: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Living Grief. With elegance and sparseness of words, Losing Katy is a poetic illustration of grief in action. The beauty of this book is in how it brings love and compassion to grief and suffering, life to death, creativity to dying, generosity to loss, and hope to despair. It is an inspiring example of honoring and revering one's grief. At its core, Losing Katy is a heartbreaking, heartfelt testament to what it means to love-and to live that love in the face of world-shattering loss.
