BOOKS BY CARLEY

A Memoir & Interactive Journal

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 waves of grief

  • gentle prompts to help you process and express

  • space to write, feel, and make sense of your own grief experience

  • insights about how grief affects the body and how we process it

 

Some days you might feel like you’re drowning.
Some days you’ll find you're surfing.
