I am so grateful I took a chance and bought this book. The prompts and exercises in the book provide a helpful and supportive structure for readers to explore their own grief, while also providing guidance for coping and healing. The writing exercises are both practical and creative, helping readers to process their emotions in a way that feels authentic and meaningful.

Abi Taylor-Abt has put together an incredible collection of essays on loss and grieving, designed to offer pathways to healing. Her inclusion of poetry, journaling prompts, and reflective exercises give the reader a selection of techniques to find ways to manage grief and loss. While mostly targeting grief associated with a death, the writing and activities resonate with other types of loss as well, such as the end of a relationship or a change in career. The format of the book encourages the user to find just the right piece for the moment, rather than expecting a linear read.

This book, "Just Sit With Me" is a powerful book that offers comfort, support, and guidance for anyone who has experienced loss. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a reminder that even in the midst of great sorrow, there is still hope for healing and growth. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with grief and looking for a way to navigate their emotions and find a path forward.

I bought this book for my mom when my dad died. It was so hard to know how to help and I liked the idea of a book to take her mind off her grief. She loves the poems and together we have done some of the recommended exercises. I am so pleased I bought this for her and cannot recommend it enough.
