What We Carry: At the Edge of Healing is the first in a three-book series exploring the emotional weight we carry through life-grief, love, memory, hope, heartbreak, resilience, and the quiet strength it takes to keep moving forward.
With warmth, honesty, and soul, Lori Hurt invites readers into the tender spaces between loss and healing, where laughter can exist beside sorrow and beauty can still be found in life's most fragile moments. These essays are not about having all the answers. They are about learning to sit with ourselves, honor what we've lived through, and discover who we are becoming along the way.
Through reflective storytelling and gentle truth-telling, this collection offers space to pause, breathe, remember, and reconnect with the parts of ourselves that life may have asked us to set aside. It speaks to anyone who has carried pain quietly, loved deeply, started over, or wondered how to keep going while still holding everything they have survived.
Whether navigating loss, change, healing, or simply searching for connection and reflection, What We Carry offers a gentle reminder that we are not alone in what we carry.
