'For anyone who has experienced or is dealing with loss, I hope you find this book inspiring.'
This collection of queer experiences of loss, hope and resilience explores different aspects of loss, the challenges of these situations, but also how queerness might help people to navigate change and loss and the opportunities and hope that can arise when healing begins.

Nathaniel J. Hall - Zachary Tucker - Euan - Jamie Windust - Juno Roche - Vaneet Mehta - Luciana Cousin - Mendez - Theo Parsonson

This is a book about navigating profound pain, but it's also about the incredible power of queer resilience.
