Don't Borrow Trouble: Thoughts and Poems on Losing a Wife and Learning to Walk
$19.99
When Elliot’s wife Nicole passed away grief dismantled the shape of his life. What emerged were words—sometimes lyrical, sometimes humorous, always raw—that capture both the silence of loss and the unexpected echoes of love that remain.
Don't Borrow Trouble can be read straight through or opened at random (grief rarely moves in a straight line). The writing resists easy answers, instead offering presence and resonance. The final section turns the book outward, inviting readers into their own journey with prompts and blank space for writing.
A meditation for anyone facing loss, this book is both testimony and invitation: a way to remember, to write, and, slowly, to keep walking.
