The Inheritance of Grief
Imagine the grief we carry finding its way out of the shadows – alive and wild, in a safe holding space.
The Inheritance of Grief is a free-verse poetry collection about an introspective journey of losing a parent, the courage of coping, and the path towards healing from the multitude of sorrow that unfolds after a loss.
Speaking to themes of cancer, anger, depression, anxiety, loss, identity, and self-love, Nishi Patel’s poems bring intense emotions out in the open to break down the stigma of grief. This book is for anyone to empower self-compassion, clarity, and connection with oneself and our community.

"The collection is split into three sections - the loss, the coping, the healing. I appreciated this method of organizing the poems, and how raw and honest and full of emotion they are. Where others might only share the view from when they felt healed, or might edit out the tough parts, Patel portrays an honest story of grief, of healing, of finding oneself again after living through hard times."
