I found myself relating to Gary Andrews as he shares his grief journey through his collection of daily comics after the death of his beloved wife Joy. In the last 2 years I've lost my only sibling, our dog, and my dad, in that order. This would be an amazing gift for a grieving friend.

Ruthiella Books can do so much. I‘m glad this one provided comfort. ❤️ 6mo

Finding Joy | Gary Andrews

This is a beautiful and at times humorous look at moving through the grief of losing a loved one without any warning. My husband tells me he has no idea how I can read books like this, but they help one see how others have coped. Do not attempt to read this without a box of tissues.

Bookwomble I think that if we avoid exploring and contemplating loss and grief, with mindful compassion rather than morbidity, when bereavement enters our lives we can be lost and overwhelmed. 13mo

Darklunarose @Bookwomble so very very true. I watched my grandpa (who raised me like a father) die of bowel cancer in 19. It was hard but I chose to sit with him for hours every day in the lead up. No one should die alone. My husband was diagnosed with a life limiting disease two years ago. It‘s pretty scary sometimes here but books help a lot. (edited) 13mo

Bookwomble Both situations sound hard for you, Jessica. I lost my parents and sister to cancer, and I also found some refuge in books 💖 13mo

Darklunarose @Bookwomble it‘s never easy, but books are refuge! They are also teachers, and solace. 13mo

Bookwomble They are that😌 13mo
