Grief is Like Reading the Same Page of a Book

 

You know how the story goes.
You were there. You lived it.  And yet… 
part of you still aches for a rewrite.

Maybe this time the phone doesn’t ring.
Maybe this time the diagnosis is wrong.
Maybe this time you get to say goodbye 
the way you needed to.

But no matter how many times you revisit it,
the ending remains the same.
And that breaks your heart all over again.

That’s grief.

Not just missing the person, 
but replaying the moment you lost them
a thousand times in your mind,
wishing just one time…
 it could turn out differently.

And even though you know it won’t,
you can’t help it.
Because your heart still believes in the

story you were writing together.

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.
