SUMMARY:Grief Begins with Love |  Sofia Safi
DESCRIPTION:Loss touches every soul. It is born from love\, and when it arrives\, it reshapes the way we navigate the world. Some losses are so deep\, they stay beside us—silent companions in every step. \nJoin Sofia Safi\, author of A Flower for You: A Poem for All the What Would Have Been of You\, as she shares her story of child loss and the journey of carrying grief with honesty. \nThis gathering is for anyone who has loved\, lost\, and continues to carry the “what could have been.” Come as you are with your love and pain. \nFriday\, Sep. 12 | 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. | MCC Prayer Hall | Join in-person or watch live at mcceastbay.org/live \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \nThe book will be available for purchase for $14. The author will sign. \nThe book can also be purchased on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Flower-You-Poem-Would-Beens/dp/1733642102 \nAbout the Book\nThis beautifully illustrated book aims to wrap those who need it in understanding. When a child passes\, so does their future\, along with the hopes and dreams that parents and loved ones had for them. Those who have experienced child loss may find themselves wondering about the milestones and memories they will now never have with their child. Those thoughts are captured here in words and images by someone who understands. A Flower for You also allows for personalization\, with a space for readers to add a picture and share thoughts about the child who has passed away. \nNote from the Author\nIn honor of beautiful baby Hamza\, please take a copy of this book and donate it to your local library. Or keep it in your collection. Or gift it to someone who may find comfort within its pages. However you choose to share it\, may it offer a moment of solace to someone who needs it.
