What does it mean to live without the person you loved most? In The Sum of Grief, chaplain and grief counselor Jessica Shannon explores the quiet arithmetic of loss-the calculations we make when we measure our days against the absence of someone who shaped them. Drawing from her own experience of losing her mother at seventeen and years of walking alongside the grieving, Shannon offers a framework that validates what so many feel but rarely hear spoken aloud: grief isn't a problem to solve. It's the proof of how deeply we loved.

Shannon, Jessica: - Jessica is a board-certified chaplain and writer from Houston, TX, and now resides in Magnolia, one of Houston's suburbs. She earned her Bachelor of Arts from Sweet Briar College and her Master of Divinity from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Jessica is passionate about grief education, family-centered bereavement support, and spiritual play. She has written articles for condolence sites and equestrian magazines. Jessica has a chapter in an upcoming anthology of pediatric chaplaincy case studies in which she demonstrates the use of bibliotherapy in caring for terminally ill childhood cancer patients. Jessica believes that her calling in chaplaincy and writing is to find hope in a mess, whatever that mess may be. She finds hope in exploring with her Boston Terrier, Stewie, seeing life between the ears of her thoroughbred, Gunner, and supporting Arsenal FC.
