The weight of whats gone

Grief doesn’t ask for permission. It arrives uninvited, sits quietly beside us, and never fully leaves. The Weight of What’s Gone, offers a deeply human exploration of sorrow, memory, and love after loss. Through spare, lyrical poems, this collection gives voice to the silence left behind by children, siblings, and parents —lost to time, tragedy, or the ache of absence. These poems do not try to fix grief. They simply sit with it— the way a friend would.
