Grief is Like Scrambled Eggs

There was once a time when everything felt whole.

Simple. Familiar. Steady.

Then one moment scattered it into pieces.

You tried to gather what was broken.

You tried to return it to what it was.

But it will not go back.

No matter how carefully you move.

No matter how much effort you give.

The pieces do not fit the same way.

Life feels altered forever.

You season it with small joys,

and stir in what hope you can find.

But the truth remains.

It is not what it was before.

And it never will be.

This is the hardest part to accept.

That life has been reshaped.

Not ruined, not erased,

but permanently changed.

Find my first book, Grief is Like a Donut, on Amazon:

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.
