About this ebook
Someone you love is alive, and you cannot reach them. They live in the same world — perhaps the same city — and yet the relationship you once had is gone. There was no funeral, no card, no casserole. The grief is real and has nowhere to go. This book is a companion for that particular loss: the mourning of a living person. It names what you may be carrying — the hope that keeps circling back, the anniversaries no one else remembers, the question of whether you could have done something more. Written for parents and for adult children alike, it takes no side and offers no verdict. Instead, you will find careful words for the questions people ask, ground under your feet for the days grief turns physical, rituals for a loss without ceremony, and honest guidance on the choices around contact — including when distance is the only safe choice. Not a ten-step fix, but a steadier way of living alongside the loss. Part of The Estrangement Library.
