Grief is Like Watching the Leaves Fall

You want to catch every leaf.
Hold it.
Tape it back to the branch.
Pretend the wind didn’t 
take what you loved.

But nature doesn’t ask for permission.
And neither does grief.
It moves in,
pulls things from your life 
you weren’t ready to lose, 
and expects you to carry on,
bare-limbed and broken.

Still,
even in the letting go,
there’s beauty.
Not because the loss is beautiful,
but because your love 
still lingers in every falling piece.

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.
