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 AfterGrief by Hope Edelman

Bearing the Unbearable: Love, Loss, and the Heartbreaking Path of Grief by Dr. Joanne Cacciatore

The Cure for Sorrow by Jan Richardson

Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng

Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief by David Kessler

A Grief Disguised by Jerry Sittser

Grief is Love by Marisa Renee Lee

A Grief Observed by C.S. Lewis

Grief One Day at a Time: 365 Meditations to Help You Heal After Loss by Dr Alan Wolfelt

Hannah Coulter by Wendell Berry

Harry’s Trees by Jon Cohen

A Hole in the World by Amanda Held Opelt
