“I am moved by this book…The words, resilience and truth are powerful. Nicholas’s life experiences mirror so many others in the world. Many feel isolated and alone, and this book will make them feel seen in a deeply powerful and human way.”
Sadie Rowbottom, The Grief Coach UK
The Trimesters of Grief is a hybrid memoir and a prescriptive guide that reframes the experience of losing a child to opioid addiction through the lens of gestation. Rizzo moves listeners through invisible, undeniable, and public stages of grief toward the lifelong work of living with loss. Although traumatic grief leaves most grievers in limbo, this book gives listeners a framework for new life. Rizzo blends raw journal entries, original poetry, and prescriptive tools backed by her own research and experience. This book is pitched for listeners as It's OK that You're Not OK with Beautiful Boy, with a foreword by Colin Campbell.
