This is a brilliant book by Rebecca Soffer & Gabrielle Birker with illustrations by Peter Arkle.
Saying goodbye is not done in a one day event. Once we’ve got through the funeral, adjusting to life in its new form does take time. Loss & grief is a slow and curious beast. Talking about it is not easy, predominantly because it’s not and open dialogue in our culture. This collection of real life stories embrace and faces one of the most profound experiences we all go through. These stories are not about death, they are about life. Open conversations inform and inspire, making you laugh and cry. ‘Modern Loss’, is raw, witty, profound & consoling. I highly recommended that anyone who is grieving has grieved or will grieve reads this.
