I recently lost my grandmother and im wondering if you have any compilations on grief/loss ?

oh anon i'm so sorry for your loss, first and foremost sending you my love and i hope you have people who you can turn to if you need to!

i've only reblogged this compilation about grief as far as i can remember but i don't feel i can sensitively judge what is appropriate at this moment for you personally to comfortably compile more quotes

instead, here are a small selection of poems, i hope they bring you a little light

what the living do - marie howe

taking care - callista buchen

trying to raise the dead - dorianne laux

happiness after grief - kim addonizio

for grief - john o'donohue

& with a little warning that i haven't read it in full and the poems i have read of the collection were very heavy imo but victoria chang's OBIT is a collection centred around grief and loss (e.g. the Blue Dress 'imagination is having to live in a dead person's future)

finally would like to underscore all these w the reminder that there's no way you have to mourn and no predetermined trajectory/deadline either - regardless of what any of these poems or anything/one else says, your feelings are valid always! take all the time you need, please do take care anon! all my love again
