WORDS OF COMFORT

Grief comes in all shapes and sizes, and in many different forms. Over the past 18 months, grief has found its way into the public on a global level like it hasn't had for a very long time before.

Millions grieve the death of beloved ones, and there are countless other circumstances that we seek solace for: long-distance partners unable to cross borders, missing out on that sweet first summer love, going through health treatments in isolation, starting out in a career without ever having met the new colleagues, and relationship breakdowns caused by the endless obstacles of prolonged lockdowns. This book is their companion in grief. In simple terms and perfectly illustrated, Words of Comfort explains what grief is and how it may manifest, it introduces the reader coping mechanism and tools of comfort, and it looks at what, ultimately, we can learn from experiencing grief.
