Heartbreak to Hope is an easily understood collection of 131 poems capturing all aspects of mourning. Each poem is a little vignette shining a light on one facet of grief. Readers will recognize themselves in many of the scenes, making them feel connected to others, giving them words for their experience, and providing a little solace in their shared journey. The book is divided into three sections based on time which delve into the feelings just after a loss, in the long middle months, and when the griever is beginning to adjust to their new life. Since the poems are based on Kara's years of experience as a grief counselor, they will ring true to a wide variety of people who have suffered losses. As one Amazon reviewer writes, "Kara's poems validate my grief in a very specific and compelling way. Those who have experienced a significant loss know that grief is confusing and painful and lonely. Doubting my sanity (many times), Kara's poems provide evidence that my feelings are commonly shared. As I struggle through the unpredictable waves and stages of grief, I will keep this book near, like a dear friend."
