She Who Stayed in Blues: A Poem-Woven Journey from Grief to Light

By Maria Aduke Alabi

A soul-stirring poetry collection for the women who grieve-and choose to live anyway.

This book is for the woman in grief.
The one who has lost someone she loved so deeply that silence now feels louder than life.
The one whose heart remembers what her mind tries to forget.
The one who has felt the weight of the night press against her chest-and somehow survived.

She Who Stayed in Blues is a tender, poem-woven journey through sorrow, memory, and quiet resilience. It's not a guide to healing. It's not about moving on. It's about sitting with what can't be undone, and still choosing to breathe.

These pages are for the woman searching for meaning in what was taken.
For the one learning to live beside the ache.
For the soul who needs permission to grieve and grace to rise.

Each poem is an offering, a hand held out, a voice speaking softly where words often fail.
This collection doesn't ask you to be okay. It simply reminds you that you're not alone.

A song Blues, called "A Blues for a Woman Who Stay" is included with a QR Code to hear the song on YouTube.

Whether for yourself or as a gift for someone navigating loss, She Who Stayed in Blues is a companion in the dark-and a quiet light on the path forward.

With tenderness and light.
