Permission to Mourn: A New Way to Do Grief

Told through verse, this slim collection follows one man's path through a loss that has changed his life. The poems open his private world of grief, recording the days, the silences and the feelings that come with it, and the uneven, slow work of carrying that weight forward. Between the poems, he offers reflections and small lessons meant for others who have lost someone too. It is a book for anyone who needs permission to slow down, to feel what they feel, and to mourn in their own way.
