Why read it?

1 author picked Can You Just Sit with Me? as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love Natasha’s voice and kindness when it comes to grief. She has been through so much loss herself, and so she knows what grief and unexpected loss try to steal from a person.

She invites the reader to simply be kind to themselves and teaches others how to come around grieving people with presence and without trying to “fix.” She offers a meaningful perspective on losses of all kinds. 

From Aubrey's list on finding hope in loss and grief.
