Grief is Like a Wildfire

 

It starts with a spark you didn’t ask for.

Then suddenly...everything is burning.

Your routines.

Your joy.

Your sense of direction.

Gone in a flash of loss and disbelief.

It spreads fast.

Unpredictable. Unforgiving.

It scorches everything it touches,

even the parts of you that once felt untouchable.

And when the flames finally quiet,

you’re left staring at the ashes,

wondering who you are now

and how life is supposed to go on from here.

But here’s what the world doesn’t always see:

Grief may burn,

but you’re still here.

Still breathing in the smoke.

Still standing in the silence.

Still holding the memory like an ember in your hand.

And slowly...so slowly...

new life will begin to rise from everything that felt lost.

Grief is Like a Donut offers gentle support for those navigating the heartache of loss. Beautifully illustrated and poetic, this book uses metaphors, and images to reflect the confusion, numbness, and unexpected pockets of sweetness that grief can bring.

Perfect for times when focus is difficult, each metaphor is independent, so the book can be read a little at a time and in any order. It is a companion for moments when you need to pause, reflect, or simply feel understood.

Rather than trying to define grief, this book illuminates the many ways loss shows up in our bodies, minds, and lives, offering comfort, validation, and the sense of being seen.
