What The Heart Carries

What the Heart Carries

How We Break, How We Mend - Grief Poetry to Carry You Home

There is no one way to grieve. There is no right way to heal. But some poems know how to sit beside you in the dark.

In this intimate and soul-stirring collection, poet Rebecca May Smith traces the quiet, aching path through loss-and the slow return to light. What the Heart Carries moves with gentle power from the sharp edges of sorrow to the tender grace of remembering, mending, and becoming.

Structured in five soul-tending sections, these poems offer more than catharsis. They are a hand to hold, a breath of recognition, and a companion for those navigating the aftermath of love and loss.

Whether you are in the depths of grief or reaching toward hope, these words will meet you where you are-and carry you gently forward.

For those who have loved deeply-and lost-this book is a soft place to land.
