Saying goodbye sucks. Especially when it’s your pet—the one who didn’t just follow you around but was family.

Goodbye with Love: Sasha’s Story & Pet Funeral Guide for Families tells the story of seven-year-old twins Lily and Luna as they face the raw truth of their dog Sasha’s death. No fluff, just real grief—and a way to say goodbye that actually helps.

This book uses clear, death-positive language—no “loss” or “passed away” nonsense—to give kids honest, age-appropriate answers about death. The story and illustrations invite real talks about grief and the deep, messy love we share with our pets.

Plus, it’s got a pet funeral guide that helps families craft a goodbye that fits their pet’s life—not some generic “sorry for your loss” routine. From decorating a shroud,  and choosing keepsakes, to planning a ceremony that feels right, this guide offers practical, meaningful ways to say farewell. Kids get prompts and activities to take part, so it’s not just adults doing the heavy lifting.

Goodbye with Love is a no-BS resource that brings clarity, comfort, and a simple truth: love and memories don’t die with your pet.

Grief and Mindfulness: Finding Calm Amidst Chaos isn’t here to fix your grief or tell you to breathe your way out of heartbreak. It’s here to help you stay with yourself—when everything feels like too much, when your brain’s on fire, and when the people around you keep saying the wrong thing.

This book offers real tools for navigating the emotional chaos that hits after someone you love dies—human or animal. It’s packed with grounded mindfulness practices you can actually use (even when your attention span is fried), along with exercises to help you sit with your feelings without trying to shove them into a tidy little box.

But it’s not just for when the grief tsunami hits. These practices are meant to carry into everyday life too—to help you show up, slow down, and maybe even feel a little more like yourself again.

You'll  find space to feel what you’re feeling, to breathe without guilt, and to remember your person (or pet) in ways that are real and meaningful.

If you want a grief companion that won’t tiptoe around your pain, Grief and Mindfulness has your back.

Come as you are—overwhelmed, numb, pissed off, cracked open. This book is built for that.

Grief isn’t just death. It’s breakups, friendship implosions, gender shifts, family weirdness, identity unraveling, and yes—losing your favorite hoodie to an ex who definitely doesn’t deserve it. For queer folks, grief shows up in ways the world rarely names—and when it does, it usually gets it wrong.

Queer Grief Unplugged is for the heartbreaks that don’t get sympathy cards. It’s for the grief that’s weird, complicated, deeply felt, and sometimes straight-up ridiculous. This book doesn’t sanitize anything. It gives side-eye to cheer-up culture and rolls its eyes at all the “everything happens for a reason” crap.

Inside, you’ll find reflections on:

• Breakups that leave you missing the cat more than the person
• Mourning versions of yourself you had to let go
• The slow grief of chosen families fading or falling apart
• Awkward-ass conversations with straight people who “mean well”
• And the daily ache of living in a world that still doesn’t always see you

This isn’t a grief book that tells you to light a candle and move on. It’s more like: scream into a pillow, cry in drag, write angry poetry, and laugh at the absurdity of it all.

Whether you're heartbroken, numb, pissed off, or ugly laughing through the pain—Queer Grief Unplugged is here for it. No filters. No sugarcoating. Just real talk for queer hearts navigating real loss.

Because grief isn’t quiet. And neither are we.

Reflections on Life & Death isn’t your average journal—it’s a cheeky little companion for anyone ready to stare mortality in the face and say, “Let’s talk.” 

With 160 pages (yep, that’s 80 double-sided) of lined space and skeletons striking poses like it’s bone fashion week, this book invites you to scribble, rant, ponder, or doodle your way through what it means to be alive, knowing death’s always lurking (in a totally charming way). Add in death-positive quotes that don’t make you roll your eyes, and you’ve got yourself a journal that doesn’t shy away from the big stuff—and helps you savor the weird, wonderful ride of being human.

The Art of Living & Dying is not your basic journal—it’s a no-fluff, sugar-skull-splashed space for exploring the glorious mess of being alive while knowing we all eventually kick the bucket. With bold, death-positive quotes that actually make you think (instead of cringe), and pages that gently scream “you’re mortal, babe—make it count,” this writing companion invites you to dive deep into the beauty, weirdness, and inevitability of it all. Perfect for folks who want to get real about life and death—without the cliches or pastel butterflies.

The Art of Mourning is your grief journal with guts. No butterflies, no “everything happens for a reason”—just real space to write your way through the heartbreak, the rage, the numbness, and the weird moments of unexpected laughter. Each page is lined and layered with soft, ghostlike dried flowers in the background—faded beauty that gets it.

You’ll find grief quotes, and plenty of space to rant, whisper, scribble, or just sit with the silence. Whether you’re missing someone every second or just feeling the ache in waves, this journal holds space for yourkind of mourning—no timeline, no tidy stages, no pressure to move on. 

Just you, your words, and the truth that love doesn’t vanish just because someone died.
