Grieving Us: A Field Guide for Living with Loss Without Losing Yourself

For the quiet evenings when grief shows up…

When the house is too still.
When the absence feels loud.
When you’re asking, “How do I live this life now, without the one I love?”

Grieving Us: A Field Guide for Living With Loss Without Losing Yourself is written for you.

If you’re ready to go beyond simply coping, this book offers a path for rebuilding your life — renewing your sense of self and purpose while staying connected to your loved one as you step into your future (because your life isn’t finished yet).

Called “heart-lifting” and “transformational” by readers, Grieving Us blends beautiful, wise writing with a down-to-earth, conversational tone. Through stories, mind-opening insights, and simple yet powerful practices, you’ll find new ways to:

• Take a break from grief, without pretending it isn’t there,

• Build a gentle life-support system for living with loss through ordinary moments, tiny rituals, and the natural world — restoring a deeper sense of aliveness,

• Keep your loved one close as a nurturing presence while living forward without regret or guilt,

• Work with the kaleidoscope of thoughts, emotions, and physical impacts grief brings,

• Discover that joy isn’t a place you get to after grief — joy can be a path through grief.

Grieving Us offers the missing “how-to” guidance for those still grieving yet feeling the pull to live fully again in a world forever changed.

Kimberley Pittman-Schulz draws from a life shaped by the early loss of her sisters, complex grief after her mother’s death, and her season as caregiver for her husband. With years of mentoring others through loss, her work blends deep empathy with grounded, practical wisdom.

If part of you knows there is still a life waiting to be lived — even now — this book is here to walk beside you.
