In Scattered Thoughts on Loss: Grief Haikus, you'll find a poignant collection of haikus that encapsulate the myriad emotions experienced through the journey of loss and love. Each haiku serves as a window into the soul's deepest corners—offering reflections on the pain, confusion, and sometimes, the unexpected moments of beauty that emerge from grieving.

Crafted during the author's personal confrontation with her mother's cancer diagnosis, these haikus are more than just a collection of poems. They're a shared experience, a companion in the loneliest of times. The simplicity of the haiku format mirrors the complexity of emotions involved in coping with a loved one's illness, making profound feelings accessible and relatable.

Whether you're in the depths of grieving, supporting someone who is, or simply reflecting on loss, these haikus offer solace and understanding. They remind us that even in our most fragmented moments, we are not alone.

Scattered Thoughts on Loss: Grief Haikus invites readers to see their reflections in its pages, to find comfort in shared experience, and to embrace the healing power of words.

It's a testament to the enduring strength of love, the complexity of grief, and the resilience of the human spirit showcased through these haikus.

HI, I’M ADRIENNE!

I know a thing or two about loss and getting my butt kicked by life. Near-death experiences, losing family and close friends, cross-country moves, career changes, debilitating illness... I've been there. I see you.

I’ve found that when we step outside—both figuratively and literally—big shifts happen. By creating meaningful goals, building foundational habits, and leaning into adventure, you’ll start to see what’s possible beyond the setbacks. We’ll find your next steps and rediscover what lights you up, so you can live a life you love.

My coaching provides the roadmap to get you there.
