Full Circle is a poignant collection of poetry and prose that delves into the raw, real emotions of two distinct forms of grief. Through an unflinchingly honest lens, it takes readers on a journey of loss, healing, and the difficult but necessary act of feeling everything. In a world where many suffer in silence, this collection underscores the importance of sharing our stories. Expressing grief can be cathartic, even though allowing ourselves to feel deeply is often more challenging than it seems. It reminds us that connection, whether through words or shared experiences, is essential for coping when everything feels like it's falling apart. Grief takes many shapes, and Full Circle focuses on two: the loss of a mother and the end of a marriage. In Part One, Leanne reflects on the harrowing journey of discovering her mother's cancer, navigating the decline, facing the final goodbye, and grappling with the aftermath. It's a story of coping with anger, sadness, and the heartbreak that comes with losing a parent as an adult. Part Two speaks to the complexities of divorce - betrayal, shame, anger, and loss once again surface, this time in the context of a relationship dissolving. Spanning five years of intense emotional reflection, Full Circle is a reminder that grief, while painful, is an intrinsic part of life that shouldn't be shrouded in silence. Designed to be opened at any page and read in any order, it's a cyclical story of healing and wholeness; beautiful, messy emotions; and the moment when, despite the chaos, you realize you may have come full circle.
