Sorrow Surfer: Riding the Waves of Grief
An Interactive Journal by Carley Taylor
Grief doesn’t move in straight lines.
It moves like the ocean.
Sometimes it crashes without warning - pulling you under, taking your breath, leaving you disoriented and exhausted.
Sometimes it laps quietly at your feet.
And sometimes a wave rises out of nowhere.
Sorrow Surfer was written by a widow over the first seven years, from the depth of those waves.
It is not a guide to escaping grief,
but a companion for living with it.
Through raw, lived storytelling and guided journal prompts, this interactive book invites you to explore your own grief - privately, honestly, and in your own words.
Inside, you’ll find:
- real moments from early loss through the years that follow
- reflections that mirror the changing tides of grief
- gentle prompts to help you process and express
- space to write, feel, and make sense of your own grief experience
Some days you might feel like you’re slipping under.
Some days you’ll find your surfing.
Pre-order now. Sorrow Surfer book will be published in June 2026.
