Beautiful, moving book

I’ve bought this book so many times as gifts to loved ones who have lost loved ones. This book has helped me and too many of my friends better understand and interact with our own grief. Something about the illustrations and text captivate you and make this horrible, beautiful feeling more approachable. Thank you, AJ, for making this incredible piece of work that has been meaningful for so many of us.
