What I'm Reading: Tend & Befriend (Chelsea Forte)


So, this is my daughter's book. It's not fiction. It's a self-help guide to dealing with grief and loss and I am soooo very proud. She's also leading a grief retreat in March. You can find details here:

A compassionate guide for those navigating sacred territory. the liminal space, the subtle space, the place between what is no longer and what is not yet.

Through somatic practices, reflective prompts, and frameworks rooted in psychology, neuroscience, and contemplative traditions, Tend & Befriend invites you to befriend your shadow, cultivate loving awareness and expand your capacity to stand between grief and joy and be stretched wide by them. Return home to yourself better supported to navigate these tender places with presence, resilience, and compassion while opening to what wants to emerge.

Whether you're navigating loss, life transitions, or simply the exquisite ache of being human, this zine offers permission to feel fully, grieve deeply, savor small joys, and begin again with compassion.

A tender companion for anyone standing in the liminal.

"All changes, however longed for, have their melancholy, for what we leave behind is a part of ourselves. We must die to one life before we begin another." - Anatole France
