Grief after losing a child, sibling, or grandchild is a rugged journey, marked by a profound emptiness and a life forever changed. In this deeply personal collection, Kelly McCoy- who lost his son, Cooper, at 23- invites readers to join him in navigating the terrain of loss, resilience, and rugged hope. Through reflections on shadow casting, crane migrations, and the hard work of spiritual edgework, Kelly offers companionship for those facing the brutal beauty of grief. This book doesn't promise a way out of grief, but rather the tools to honor loved ones and to live alongside loss with grace, courage, and enduring love.
