“Grief Becomes You is a collection of narratives—in stanzas and snippets, in paragraphs and photographs—surrounding loss. It is, I hope, a beginning, an opening, a trailhead, a sign on a map that says “It’s okay to be here” and “You are not alone.” It is, I hope, a way to help carry these and other losses forward, and to encourage more stories of loss to be shared. I believe the visibility of grief is not just valuable but vital to healing.”
