Comforting Thought: An emotion tree

Pandora (ca. 1914) Odilon Redon (French, 1840-1916)

“just a simple me, an emotion tree
not growing for you to
grow off of or to destroy.
leave me be, so i may grow strong,
on my own,
and i will be my own damn home.”

good grief, brianna pastor

A deeply moving book of prose and poetry that captures the bittersweet and dark nature of grief and letting go. This is a timeless companion for people of all ages, stages and phases of life. If you are going through something, letting go of something or someone then this book will see you and take the measure of your sadness, anger and fear – letting light into your life for clarity and connection with self and the world.
