FIELD NOTES FROM GRIEF
The First Year
by Judith Gold Stitzel

"Field Notes from Grief: The First Year is a unique collaboration of author Judith Gold Stitzel and artist Claudia Giannini, based on the private journals Judith kept during the year after her husband’s death. They had been married for forty-seven years.

“Without being overly (and therefore unbelievably) encouraging, Field Notes from Grief affirms the reader through humor, honesty and attention to the emotional contradictions of loss. Different people need different things when they are grieving. But, as much as anything else, they need evidence that they will once again want to go on.”
