Summary
When Lizzie Pickering's young son Harry died in 2000, she set out on a journey to understand how she could survive her grief and learn to live with it. In When Grief Equals Love, she details the lessons she’s learned from her own experiences and those of others, who share their thoughts in this moving and tender book.
Lizzie opens her diaries, written in the early years after Harry’s death, revealing her observations on the grief of his siblings and family, what helped and what hurt. Revisiting those diaries, she reflects on time passing, and what has changed for her and her family since.
Lizzie looks at the myth of closure, survivor’s energy and cumulative grief–when life experiences pile up and become too much to bear. She includes interviews with bereaved friends, who share their own insights, and she provides a toolkit based on what has helped her and what she recommends to those she now helps with grief guidance.
In most lives, unfortunately, grief and loss are inevitable. But living with grief can still be living. This book is for those going through grief and anyone who might need to support them.
Please visit When Grief Equals Love on the Unbound website for all sources quoted in the audiobook and additional resource suggestions from Lizzie.

Emotional, Brilliant. Important
Many tears were shed listening to this book. It’s insightful, informative, heartbreaking, life-affirming and brilliant. Death will affect us all in some way and this book might just help us navigate that. Thank you.

Beautifully written, informative and important
Devoured this in just a few days. Had to stop plenty of times in public to have a cry. I hope this book brings comfort to those that need it and knowledge to those who, like me, are lucky enough to have not experienced grief yet. I feel like I know how to be a better human and friend to others from reading this. Just be there. That’s all it takes. Lizzie is a wise and wonderful soul. Thank you for sharing your experience, journey & wisdom with us.
