It is impossible to live for any length of time and not experience some type of grief. Loss is the common thread that sews our humanity together. Grief extends far beyond mourning the loss of a loved one. We often experience a myriad of disappointments in our lifetime such as the end of a career, the breakdown of a relationship, the leaving behind of a beloved home, the aftereffects of a life-altering accident, or the saying goodbye to a faithful pet. In Life After Loss , author Catherine Kenwell curates an exceptional collection of true essays that weave a tapestry that showcases flickering moments of grace and courage. With a variety of contributors, this anthology does not offer prescriptive answers or glib platitudes. Instead, this book washes the reader with honest stories that are guaranteed to resonate loudly—sharing the reality that no one is alone with or exempt from loss. This book is perfect for the person who wants to enjoy a profound and raw collection of creative nonfiction essays. It is also an ideal gift for a friend who is currently going through a season of loss.
