The Matter of Little Losses: Finding Grace to Grieve the Big (and Small) Things

Your grief isn't something to get over Like paper cuts to the heart, every loss--the loss of friendships, dreams, health, innocence, and everything in between--grieves us more than we think it will, and often more than we let on. But what if it's time to give language to the loss we've lived through? What if it's time to give voice to the grief we carry? In this compassionate and deeply personal book, Rachel Marie Kang shines a light on all the things we lose along the way. Through poetry, poignant storytelling, and reflective explorations on art and faith, Rachel guides you to: ● ponder your loss(es) without judgment ● remember what was and make meaning of your memories ● reflect on what is yet to be as you reach for hope You don't have to bury your grief, and you don't have to pretend you're over your loss. Let this poetic book be a balm for your brokenness, giving space for sorrow and welcoming you to grieve the things that always mattered--and always will. "A much-needed antidote to our quick-fix culture. Kang reminds us that in honoring sorrow we not only find solace but also a path to deeper communion with one another."-- Dr. Alison Cook , therapist and author of The Best of You and Boundaries for Your Soul "Kang draws on stories, art, and the power of our connections to remind us that our grief matters and that we are not alone in it. I am so grateful for this book."-- Kaitlin B. Curtice , award-winning author of Native and Living Resistance
