Description
A hybrid of memoir and poetry, You Don't Fall Out of the Universe navigates what one family endures before and after the unimaginable loss of a son. With quiet moments of heartache and resilience, Jewett shows the strength in being vulnerable. If you think you know how to console someone who's grieving, this memoir reveals there's more to learn, how our simplest phrases can cause more hurt than healing.
This book is so many things: a means of honoring a son, a fierce commitment to family, a meditation on grief, and an exploration of secular spirituality that offers readers an alternative path through bereavement. When enduring such profound loss seems impossible, You Don't Fall Out of the Universe asks us to consider survival, that the power of nature and mystical elements of the universe could be a part of healing.
