Stay Here: On Love, Loss, and Remaining

When the people you love are gone, the world urges you to move on. Grief asks you to stay.Stay Here: On Love, Loss, and Remaining by Karen Goldfinger Baker allows a compassionate opening as grief settles. With honesty and quiet attention, this collection of lyrical poetry reminds us that life exists after loss. Stay Here is a companion for the moments when nothing makes sense, when sorrow meets the everyday, and remembering brings presence.***"Stay Here is a rare kind of book-honest, spacious, and deeply human...These pages feel like quiet companionship for anyone who has loved and lost. A beautiful reminder that even in the ache, love remains."-Jacob Nordby, author of The Creative Cure: How Finding and Freeing Your Inner Artist Can Heal Your Life"Stay Here is brutally honest and exquisitely beautiful and reminds us of something most of us have forgotten: The capacity to stay is the capacity to love."-Mark J. Silverman, author of The Rising Leader Handbook: Turning High Achievers into Effective Leaders"Stay Here does not ask you to heal. We never do. It invites us to remember the colors that once filled the space in our broken hearts." -Patti M. Hall, author of Loving Large: A Mother's Rare Disease Memoir
