From the creator of The Pretty Painful Grief Book, with over 40 million views on Instagram and TikTok, comes a collection of heartfelt letters about the depths of grief and the heaviness of healing.

Grief is brutal. It doesn’t follow rules. It doesn’t come with instructions. It just crashes into your life and changes everything. Pretty Painful Grief Letters is a raw, vulnerable, and painfully honest collection of letters that put language to the feelings most people don’t know how to say out loud – written for those moments when the silence is too loud, when the ache is too much, when you just need to feel seen.

Born from late-night journal entries, early-morning heartbreak, and those invisible moments in between, these letters are for the ones who have screamed into their pillows, cried in the car, stared at the ceiling at 3 a.m., or simply pretended they're fine in a world that doesn't understand. They don't offer false hope or clichés. They don’t try to fix your grief. They simply sit with you in it. Like a friend who doesn’t flinch at your pain.

Originally shared on Instagram, these letters have reached over 21 million views, connecting with grieving hearts all over the world. And now, these words live here — for you to hold, read and reread, scribble on, highlight, cry over, and return to whenever grief shows up uninvited.

This book is for you if:

  • You're tired of people telling you to \"move on.\"
  • You're craving something that feels real in the middle of all this pain.
  • You want a place to unload the stuff that’s too hard to say out loud.
  • You're ready to start acknowledging your grief — without shame or pressure.


It's for all those that cry in the shower, drive in silence, reread old texts, and feel like strangers in their own skin. It’s for the ones who are grieving someone they’ll never stop loving, as you try to figure out how to live a life that doesn’t look or feel like it used to.
Inside these pages you’ll find:

  • Viral letters that have resonated with millions on Instagram
  • Thoughtful journal prompts from The Pretty Painful Grief Book
  • Raw reflections on heartbreak, death, identity, loneliness, love, and everything in between
  • Space to write the words you wish you could say — to the person you lost, to yourself, or just to the universe


How to use this book:

Read it cover to cover. Flip to whatever page you land on. Scribble your thoughts and feelings in the blank spaces. Fold down corners. Tear out pages. Pick it up when grief smacks you out of nowhere. Let it hold your hand when no one else can. There’s no “right” way to grieve — and no “right” way to use this book.

There’s just you. Your grief. And a place that finally understands.
