"Profound loss is one of the biggest fires we can pass through, and we are forged within it. In other words, loss changes everything about you: your routine, your future plans, your outlook, your world."

— Rebecca Soffer, "The Modern Loss Handbook: An Interactive Guide to Moving Through Grief and Building Your Resilience"⁠

Can you relate to this? What other losses did you experience after losing your person?

This post features text excerpted from "The Modern Loss Handbook," which is out now! This handbook is what author and cofounder wished she had after her parents died. With wisdom gained from her own personal experience, expert advice, and insights from the global Modern Loss community, "The Modern Loss Handbook" is for anyone who has lost their “person” or wants to give something meaningful and effective to someone who has.

“That looks heavy.” said Rabbit.
“What’s that?” asked Bear.
“Your thoughts.” replied Rabbit. “Let me hold them with you for a while.”
“Then we’ll both have heavy thoughts.” said Bear.
“No.” said Rabbit. “Between the two of us, they shouldn’t weigh near as much.”
