Smell the Blue Sky ENHANCED

Valerie Ihsan

Loss. Hope. Love.

The day Valerie discovered she was pregnant was the day her husband died. She didn't know how to be a widow. Widows were old. Not twenty-six and pregnant. Valerie moved cross-country, gave birth, and found solace and healing in art, journaling, and alternative spirituality--discovering along the way how to be strong in the face of single parenting, dating, and reinventing herself after tragic loss.

If you like reading memoirs about ordinary people living through extraordinary circumstances, you'll love Valerie Ihsan's Smell the Blue sky ENHANCED version, which includes her booklet titled How to Grieve: Even when you don't want to.

Praise for this book

"I could've used this when my brother died. I could've used it when my father died. After years of experience and having learned most of what you outlined, it would have been a great read after my mother died a couple/3 years ago."
