Losing Katy: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Living Grief

Losing Katy: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Living Grief is a genre-bending memoir that blends poetic prose, journal entries, and emotional insight, offering readers an intimate portrait of living grief. It traces the author's journey from just before the death of her wife, Katy, through the third anniversary of her loss. Its chronological structure mirrors the reality of grief - nonlinear, unpredictable, and often cyclical - revealing how love and sorrow twist and return in unexpected ways.
