To know love is to know grief.

To know grief is to know love.

Grief and love are inextricably intertwined, woven into the tapestry of our human life. 

We grieve for the loss of what once was; we grieve for the absence of what will never be. When we allow it, the breaking of our hearts expands our capacity for compassion, gratitude, and joy. Through honouring our sorrow, we are invited into a deeper intimacy with the great mystery of life.

A Tapestry of Grief: The Weaving of Loss and Love holds the stories of fifteen women whose hearts have been broken open through death, disconnection, and unrealized dreams. The experiences are as unique as the woman who courageously lived it, revealing the grief of both loss and absence. These wise women have woven the tangled threads of despair and relief, and anger and joy, creating an exquisitely intricate tapestry of grief.

Grief calls to be witnessed, not fixed.

By sharing their stories of loss and love, these women are allowing their grief to be seen—holding the mirror for you to see yours, too. Together, we are mending our broken hearts and sharing the common thread of love. 

May these stories soothe your tender heart.
