A note from the author

Hello and thank you for coming to the Being There for Someone in Grief website.

When in the company of people in grief, I often hear them say it is rare to have someone who can “hold space” for them in a way that is quiet and calm – a spacious way that neither invades or evades. I wrote this book as a response to that comment, and in honor of all who grieve. May the world one day be filled with those who can gaze into the face of suffering and stay, sure in themselves that the one who grieves has within them the resources to heal, and know their exquisite role as a true companion.

It took time and concentration to learn to be there for someone in grief in a way that is welcomed and respectful. Lucky for me, I had great teachers. My deepest wish is that I have found just the right words to help you become a person who can be there for someone you know, perhaps someone you love, who needs your deep presence as they grieve.

We have just begun this adventure and plan to add features to the website in the next few weeks and months. So come often and sign up on the Subscribe page.There is no charge, of course.

If you choose to purchase a copy of the book on this website, I will personally sign it before it goes out the door. Thank you for all you do to make this world a little better.

Warmly,
Marianna Cacciatore
