Grief is Love: Living with Loss
by Marisa Renee Lee
In beautiful, compassionate prose, Marisa elegantly offers wisdom about what it means to authentically and defiantly claim space for grief’s complicated feelings and emotions. And Lee is no stranger to grief herself, she shares her journey after losing her mother, a pregnancy, and, most recently, a cousin to the COVID-19 pandemic. These losses transformed her life and led her to question what grief really is and what healing actually looks like. This book is both a love letter to her mother and a gift to the reader.

A Hole in the World
by Amanda Held Opelt
When Amanda suffered a season of loss, including three miscarriages and the unexpected death of her sister, New York Times bestselling writer Rachel Held Evans, she was confronted with sorrow she didn’t know to how face. She wrestled with some unexpectedly difficult questions: What does it mean to truly grieve and to grieve well? Why is it so hard to move on? Why didn’t my faith prepare me for this kind of pain? And what am I supposed to do now? This book explores what she found when she went looking for answers.
