“Brianna Pastor is by far one of my favorite new writers. Good Grief is a powerful testament that shows how hard the past can be and that overcoming it is possible. If you want to feel seen and deeply moved, read Good Grief. Brianna Pastor has unparalleled talent, let the power of her writing guide you to a better life.”—Yung Pueblo, #1 New York Times bestselling author

An expanded edition including brand new poems of the bestselling self-published poetry collection, Good Grief offers comfort for coping with serious emotional issues, including grief, trauma, anxiety, and depression, and finding hope on the other side.

“We don’t know how long our pain will last. we assume that because it hurts now, it is probably going to hurt tomorrow. it may even hurt the next day. perhaps it will get worse. but we sleep, and you see, and we do this marvelous thing in our sleep—we mend. And tomorrow is not always what we thought it would be.”

Brianna Pastor’s beautiful collection of poetry , written immediately following a time of pain and loss, is balm for troubled souls. Pastor doesn’t shy away from the darkest parts of life, gently guiding us as she confronts difficult, often debilitating issues—grief, trauma, anxiety, and depression—with vulnerability and strength. Poetry operating as a form of therapy, Good Grief resonates with readers who may also be struggling with similar issues, offering warm understanding and welcoming solace on the journey toward healing, opening us up to the growth and beauty that can come in the midst of struggle.
