If youāre interested in the neurobiology and psychology of grief, I read the grieving brain for a class I took and found it accessible and fascinating (Linked)
ive also already recād āa grief observedā by c.s. Lewis on here but it is truly one of the most poignant and beautiful things Iāve ever read, a heartbreaking personal meditation on loss, faith, and love. if youāre cool with reading something devoutly religious, I canāt recommend this enough. Iāve attached a photo of the opening lines.

Just read this and cried slightly. A beautiful children's book by Sheila Heti about grief. Very pretty illustrations too.
My favorite quote: "Life is glad to have known all of the creatures who came here. Everything that has ever lived leaves their traces on the earth. And the heart keeps forever what it once loved".

A tense, slow burning, gripping read.
āIt's been raining for a long time now, for so long that the lands have reshaped themselves and the cities have retreated to higher storeys. Old places have been lost. Arcane rituals and religions have crept back into practice. Sisters Isla, Irene and Agnes have not spoken in some time when their estranged father dies. A famous architect revered for making the new world navigable, he had long cut himself off from public life. They find themselves uncertain of how to grieve his passing when everything around them seems to be ending anyway.ā
King Lear meets the climate crisis. Just as stunningly written as Our Wives Under the Sea. I cried when I finished it this morning, mostly at it being over.
