The Inheritance of Grief: Poetry and Prose

The Inheritance of Grief is a free-verse poetry collection about an introspective journey of losing a parent, the courage of coping, and the path towards healing from the multitude of sorrow that unfolds after a loss.

Speaking to themes of cancer, anger, depression, anxiety, loss, identity, and self-love, Nishi Patel's poems bring intense emotions out in the open to break down the stigma of grief. This book is for anyone to empower self-compassion, clarity, and connection with oneself and our community.

"I came out from the other side through

a light that could not have been found

had it not been so fearfully dark inside"
