Grief can often feel like a heavy weight, something that must be endured or passed through in order to move forward. However, what if we were to approach grief differently? Instead of pushing through it or trying to “get over it,” what if we embraced it as part of our emotional landscape, honoring it as a natural, human process?

In Lumina, the author invites readers to shift their perspective on grief. Rather than seeing it as something to fight against, she encourages us to see it as a path to healing and remembrance. The book beautifully intertwines poetry and images, allowing us to find peace through reflection and understanding.

Finding comfort in remembrance is a powerful aspect of grief. It’s in the small memories—shared moments of joy, laughter, and love—that we find healing. Each memory is a thread that connects us to our loved one, creating a bond that can never be broken. In Lumina, the act of remembering is not painful; it is a source of strength, a way to celebrate the life of a loved one and keep their spirit alive.

When we choose to remember with gratitude instead of sorrow, we begin to shift our emotional focus. Remembrance becomes a way of honoring our loved ones, keeping them close, and finding peace in the knowledge that their impact on our lives is everlasting. Lumina shows us that grief is not the end of the journey—it’s merely part of a larger process that leads to healing, remembrance, and spiritual growth.
