Hello Grief

After losing her mother to cancer, Alessandra Olanow was overwhelmed by the sadness and uncertainty she felt each day-the shifting tide of emotions that everyone who has suffered loss experiences in their own unique way. In this wise and intimate book, the artist and writer draws insights from her personal loss and also her training as an end-of-life doula to explore the complex, heart-rending process of grief. Olanow chronicles her journey through pain and how she learned to bear a sorrow that will never leave her. In spare but incisive writing and more than 75 full-colour drawings, she shares her own struggle with feelings of loss and longing and shows that with time, grief evolves and we relearn the world changed by that loss.
