In the last years of her life, Teresa Lim's mother, Violet Chang, had copies of a cherished family photograph made for those in the portrait who were still alive. The photo is mounted on cream card with the name of the studio stamped at the bottom in Chinese characters. The place and date on the back: Hong Kong, 1935. Teresa would often look at this photograph, enticed by the fierceness and beauty of her great-aunt Fanny looking back at her. But Fanny never seemed to feature in the told and retold family stories. Why? she wondered. 

Once you have lived inside the world of grief, you are never the same. Your heart beats differently, and your tears flow more often. Your love increases for your circle of people. You learn the sacredness of holding space for grief and the impact it has on you physically, spiritually, and emotionally. To ignore grief is a dangerous act. If you pretend it doesn’t exist, grief will take your mind, body, and soul to places you don’t want to go. I humbly pray that this little book will serve you in some way as you walk this path of grief or hold hands with those who are brokenhearted.
