How She felt
A Poetic Journey Through Grief, Told & Written
How She Felt is a five-part series of poetic mini-books tracing the emotional landscape of grief — denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
Each book invites you to read her story, reflect on your own, and write how you felt.
This is not just her journey — it’s yours too.
Book 1: Denial
She clings to soft illusions, hoping they’ll shield her from what’s slipping away. A gentle haze where truth blurs and memory pretends
Book 2: Anger
Her rage is quiet — written but never sent, folded between lines of “I’m fine.” It simmers where no one sees, but it still burns.
Book 3: Bargaining
She whispers hope into the dark, making deals with silence. Every “what if” is a thread pulling her back toward a version of maybe.
Book 4: Depression
Time slows. Light fades. The days are heavy and her hands are tired. She sinks gently into the quiet ache of not knowing how to rise.
Book 5: Acceptance
She doesn’t return to who she was — she becomes something new. Not stronger, not louder, just softer. Just real.
