When my father died, I wanted to find a community of others who had walked my new journey. I couldn’t find one, so I invited others to create one with me. This book is full of true stories of grief due to a death. Through the courage of these contributors, you can find community here—people who have already walked a journey of grief and generously share their personal reflections. If you are comforting someone who is grieving, the contributors offer to you what was and was not helpful to them. My hope is that you find something helpful and healing in these pages. -Jules
