Hello, Goodbye: 75 Rituals for Times of Loss, Celebration, and Change

This book guides the reader to embrace ritual with simple yet powerful practices that honor and mark life’s real moments, from loss to birth, grief to coming out. Life transitions: birth, college, marriage, divorce, death. Artist and author Day Schildkret believes rituals are the rhythms and traditions that give us stability in uncertainty. They remind us that we can do, say, or make something that conjures awe, contentment, and gratitude. This book teaches how to embrace uncertainty and life’s inevitable changes, including: birth, moving, divorce, empty nesting, retirement, death anniversary, health crises.

This book contains over 75 hands-on ritual instructions, informed by hundreds of interviews, and filled with beautiful illustrations, inspirational stories, potent questions, and experienced wisdom.
