An exploration of loss, in all its forms, as experienced by the LGBTQIA+ community, and the rays of hope that can emerge from loss.
'For anyone who has experienced or is dealing with loss, I hope you find this book inspiring.'
This collection of queer experiences of loss, hope and resilience explores different aspects of loss, the challenges of these situations, but also how queerness might help people to navigate change and loss and the opportunities and hope that can arise when healing begins.
Exploring experiences of loss in all its forms - from bereavement and relationship breakups to loss of community, safety and identity - the book considers how queerness might help people to navigate change and loss and asks the question: do you believe in life after loss?
Curated by Andrew Flewitt and with contributions from psychotherapist Silva Neves throughout, the book features interviews with:
Nathaniel J. Hall - Zachary Tucker - Euan - Jamie Windust - Juno Roche - Vaneet Mehta - Luciana Cousin - Mendez - Theo Parsonson
A moving and nuanced exploration of queer grief that stayed with me long after I finished reading it. Andrew writes about this confronting topic with engaging warmth and compelling honesty.
