A raw, tender, and deeply personal exploration of love, loss, and the lifelong journey of grief.

In A Journey With Grief, veterinarian and writer David Laubert offers an intimate collection of free-verse poems that chronicle his experience navigating the deaths of his mother and his beloved dog, Maggie Mae. With unflinching honesty and quiet grace, each poem captures the disorienting reality of grief-its weight, its unpredictability, and its strange coexistence with enduring love.

This is not a guide to "getting over" loss, but a companion for those learning to carry it. Whether you've recently faced a loss or are years into your own journey, these reflections remind you that grief is not a problem to solve-it's love with nowhere to go, reshaping us in ways both painful and profound.

For anyone who has loved deeply and lost, this book says: You are not alone.
