Mundane minutia stacked moment by moment till one day it tips. Becomes love. Becomes memory. Apple dolls and zucchini, snow squalls and shut roads and hard earned shared laughs.

Terry’s writing is full of vivid images that invite the reader to share in all the complex emotions that come with loss. Yet despite these many portraits of grief, the collection is not without hope. Terry continually reminds us that life goes on, that despite all we carry we are, “still living, still seeking, still hungry for love.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e--Frances Klein, author of Another Life and editor of Flight: A Literary Sampler\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"kith books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48352685162650,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6988\/8666\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_02b4cd1f-f952-4080-9fa5-a6054dd6f3ce.jpg?v=1781846820","url":"https:\/\/www.redcurrentshop.com\/products\/grief-is-not-shelf-stable","provider":"Red Current Distro - Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
