Through the Valley

Grief does not follow a schedule, and it does not always follow a logic that others recognize. It can arrive years after the loss, in unexpected shapes, at inconvenient times — and the loneliness of that unpredictability is sometimes as hard as the grief itself. The writers in this collection know that loneliness from the inside.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe the experience of grief across different kinds of loss — death, but also the losses that are harder to name. They trace the raw first period, the longer middle that no one prepares you for, the ways people found support or created it, and what carrying the loss eventually came to feel like when the sharpness softened without disappearing.

Who it's for

For those in the early or middle stages of grief, the people beside them who want to help without saying the wrong thing, and anyone seeking company in an experience that isolates even when it is universal.
