Thinking Of You

“Thinking of You” feels like stepping into a room where grief is finally allowed to exhale. Courtney writes with that rare kind of gentleness, the kind that doesn’t rush your healing, doesn’t demand clarity, doesn’t pretend loss is tidy. Instead, she offers poems that sit beside you in the ache, acknowledging how heavy it is to carry what you’ve lost and how disorienting it can be to imagine a future beyond it.

What makes this collection resonate is its blend of vulnerability and steadiness. Courtney threads personal truth with soft fiction, creating a space where grief becomes both story and companion. The poems don’t try to fix you; they simply remind you that healing is a slow, human thing. And in the middle of that tenderness, she gives you lines that feel like a hand on your shoulder. Like this one, which lingers long after you close the book:

“I know you can’t see it now, but one day, this will be another chapter in your story.”

It’s the heartbeat of the entire collection: the reminder that even the darkest seasons eventually become part of the narrative you survived. “Thinking of You” is a companion for anyone navigating heartbreak, a book that doesn’t shy away from sorrow but still insists on hope. It’s quiet, comforting, and deeply human; something you return to when you need to feel understood.
