Grief Library
I wish I could have a cozy little library with big comfy chairs, a crackling fire place, and all the hot cocoa, tea, and coffee a person could want. The library would be filled with books on grief: books to learn about grief and stories that help you feel less alone. Since that’s not reality, here’s a non-exhaustive list of the books I would include:

The Cure for Sorrow by Jan Richardson
