What Must Be Carried
"About 2.5 million people die in the United States annually, each leaving an average of five grieving people behind. What Must Be Carried provides vital emotional support for the grieving, imparting wisdom from her own experiences with grief and advice on navigating life after a devastating loss."--
A guide to start living again for those who have lost a loved one, written by a mother and widow
What Must Be Carried: Living a Beautiful Life Beyond Loss is an empathetic guidebook that walks readers through the grieving process, giving them the tools they need to carry the pain of their loss and start truly living again. With relatable personal narratives from Whitney Lyn Allen Gadecki, mother of two boys, Jackson and Leo, certified grief educator and coach, and a widow whose life has been forever altered by the loss of her husband, as well as actionable advice for those grieving, this book is a perfect, steady companion for anyone impacted by a devastating loss.

- Patience, experimentation, time, curiosity, and practice as difficult but essential foundations of living with and healing from grief
- How to discover contentment, peace, love, and beauty anew, even when it often feels like life is all downhill from here
- Grief's hidden gifts of helping you live more authentically, ambitiously, purposefully, and fearlessly despite its heavy burden
