Kintsugi Your Hear, The Art of Living With Grief.

5.0/ 5

Kintsugi Your Heart, The Art of Living With Grief puts the truth in an elegant and gentle flow that allows the reader to know they are not alone and , in ways, honestly jolts you awake with demanding awareness of grief, yet acceptance. Carol Banens’ debut collection of poems reaches deep into the soul to express intense pain and numbness of grief, while guiding the reading how to live wit and carry grief. Her poems state what those in the depth of grief are unable to find the words to articulate.

An experience lived, shared and to be heeded.

5.0/ 5

I received Carol’s book as a gift from a fellow person experiencing grief and with which I have “lived;”for 14 years BUT it has not been a depressing nor life-ending experience. It must be understood that living with grief is a life. Carol’s book provides a wonderful encouragement for such a life to be lived successfully and uplifting. I, as a Spiritual Care Coordinator for many years in a Long Term Care environment have distributed the book to many caregivers. Why? It is personal, experience proven and the format of poetry easily read and understood. It far surpasses many academic books on grief. It can be said it is the epitome of the old saying “better felt that tell’t.” I truly recommend this book for profound insight and provision to living the life of Grief successfully and beneficially. It truly helps attach the brokenness. Thank you Carol!
