A memoir about death, how to grieve, and the healing power of the sea.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Over the course of seven difficult years, Miriam Mulcahy lost her mother, father, and sister, each grief threatening to drown her. But instead of going under, she discovered the lessons of the sea, letting the water teach her how to get through anything in life: one breath builds on another, another stroke, another kick, and you will get home.

This is My Sea takes our greatest fear, death, and wraps it up in language so fine and beautiful that the reader is carried along and comforted by how completely lost Miriam was and how she found solace in all the things that sustained her: books, music, art, friends, love, swimming, and of course, the sea.

For fans of The Salt Path by Raynor Winn and I Found my Tribe by Ruth Fitzmaurice.
