This is so beautiful. How selfless of you to put this together at this time, when your own heart is still so deeply in the throws of loss and grief. This is an incredible resource. Thank you.
Thank you for writing this. I wanted to add a recommendation, My Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion. I found the way she documents her own grief as she went through it to be hugely cathartic
This is an amazing resource, Rohini. It can be so hard to put myself in others shoes when a close loved one is lost - it is so hard to fathom the pain. I think about ways to navigate this all of the time and appreciate this post so much. I have been following you since recently and I am so sorry to hear about your beautiful daughter. Life is so tough - there’s no avoiding pain - I hope you continue to find strength and courage and healing. Your words have an amazing way of bringing comfort and I thank you for sharing.
you don’t know how kind and impactful this is. i am in a very different condition than you (considering burial of a beloved animal) and it is so radiantly helpful to have a place to come back to as i grieve. your openness and gentle heart is such a gift in this time!
An absolutely beautiful and thoughtful resource for all of us to take in and lead us in difficult times. I so agree that our society is shut off from talking about or processing grief openly. I remember reading the Tibetan book of the living and dying and feeling fully changed from it. I often find myself struggling to find the right words of comfort…especially in difficult moments but I do know how to nurture and your guide reminds me that is just as important.
Thank you for this and all the writing you release. It truly is a gift. I think and pray for you all often. May peace find you 💗
My mother was a hospice nurse for 10 years and her top book recommendation is The Wilderness of Grief: Finding Your Way by Alan Wolfelt. She’s found book can help the grieving find their way. I’m currently reading Grief Is Love by Marisa Renee Lee, which is especially comforting after the recent and unexpected passing of my husband’s grandfather. This death has pulled the veil back from his pain of his father’s death three years ago.
The humanity of life and loss brings our soul so close to the surface. Seeing other’s grief reflecting your own and holding love for them is a soothing balm. 💗 Thank you 🙏🏻
