Grief is Love

In 'Grief is Love: Living with Loss,' Marisa Renee Lee offers wisdom on how to authentically and defiantly claim space for grief’s complicated feelings and emotions.

She shares her personal journey of losing her mother, a pregnancy, and a cousin to the COVID-19 pandemic, and explores the unique impact of grief on Black people.

The book debunks the idea of grief stages or timelines and highlights the key factors for proper healing: permission, care, feeling, and grace.

Lee guides readers on how to honor their loss on their unique terms and shows that if we own and honor what we’ve lost, we can experience a beautiful and joyful life in the midst of grief.
