Notes for the Everlost: A Field Guide to Grief by Kate Inglis

5.0

“Notes for the Everlost - field guide to grief” speaks beautifully of the true nature of grief. The pain, the passage, the fallout of loss. You journey with Kate as she recounts the losing of her own son, and the days, weeks, months and years that follow his death.

Kate Inglis is a truth speaker, whose brilliant prose and descriptive imagery happen to make her feel more like a companion in grief than merely a guide.

Not only does she manage to make one feel less alone in their pain, she accurately conveys a reality in which grief may not have to last forever, as it is currently known. Somehow, she writes that to be survivable too.

I am also of the belief that this book would help someone who has not experienced grief and loss to understand what that experience may be like, in order for them to more closely identify with the grief of another.

I cannot possibly recommend this book higher, and I cannot wait to pass it on to another in grief. I am thankful it was written.
