Grief can feel so lonely.

You are not alone.

After her father died, Lena Marocco Paulauskas found healing in sharing her story with others walking through loss. Now in a debut collection of poetry, Chasing Time candidly explores the grief journey through the eyes of a woman who understands the pain, the sorrow, and the healing that accompanies loss.

When you lose someone you love,

Your life is changed

Forever.

Life seems so different.

Empty.

Even the good memories

Are plagued with sadness,

Knowing you can't

Make any new memories with them.

Will you walk through grief with me?

I can't promise Joy.

You won't find empty platitudes.

You will find:

Honesty,

Solidarity,

Understanding.

"Lena's collection of poetry gives voice to grief in breathtaking ways. She holds space for vulnerable emotion and honest hope and reminds us to live and love well. Chasing Time is a gift-for your own grieving heart, and for those you love."

-ANGELA DONADIO, Ministry Leader, Author, Host of the Make Life Matter Podcast

"If you're looking for a sense of purpose or a moment of understanding, Lena's words will surround you in a much-needed embrace."
