by Eloria Elliot (Author)
Leaving My Mark is an extraordinary memoir written by Eloria Elliot of her journey through grief and healing. Composed as a sequence of lyric poems, and graced with beautiful original artwork, Elliot gives us a unique front-row seat to the trauma of losing her husband through a tragic instance of medical negligence and the long torturous road of the sorrow and anger that followed. Written over a period of 17 years, her honest and vulnerable poems lead us all the way from unimaginable shock and despair, through the twists and turns of seeking truth, justice and closure, to new places of hope and healing. This book offers rare resources of insight and solidarity for all who find themselves traveling the way of loss and sorrow or for those walking alongside anyone suffering in the valleys of grief.
