Booklist

Finding words for loss is never easy, and sometimes the voices of others who have walked a similar path can bring comfort, validation, and hope. Our founder, Sarah, found these books meaningful in her own journey, and we offer them in case they may be helpful to you as well. You may connect deeply with some and not with others, and that’s completely okay.

​

Additionally, if you have found comfort in other books or resources, we'd love to hear about them! Reach out to us on our Contact Form to let us know what you've read that has helped you through your grief.
