The beautiful parable of the water bugs and the dragonfly, written by an anonymous author, has often been a source of comfort and inspiration to those who have suffered the loss of a loved one.

She opens an honest conversation on the courage and support it takes to properly grieve before finding the love we need from ourselves and others to begin to heal. This book is comforting and loving, candid and raw – and it’s a must-read for anyone who has lost someone dear to their heart.
