We can heal with help from our friends and community if we know how to ask. This book was written for people of all ages and orientations dealing with grief of any sort—professional, personal, romantic, familial, or even the sadness of the modern world.

Though at times it may seem impossible, we can heal with help from our friends and community—if we know how to ask. This heartrending, relatable account of one woman’s reckoning with loss is a guide to the world of self-recovery, self-love, and the skills necessary to meeting one's own needs in these times of pain—especially when that pain is suffered alone.

Grief is all around us. In the world of today it has become common and layered, no longer only an occasional weight. This book provides actions to boost self-care and self-worth; it shows when and how to ask for love and attention, and how to provide it for others. In a moment in which community, affection, and generosity are needed more than ever, this book is an indispensable road map.
