A Hundred Ways to Hold Her is a poetic collection of emotional self-holding, written for the woman learning to stay with herself through heartbreak, healing, and renewal. These one hundred intimate verses trace a journey of unraveling, healing, and return, offering steady companionship through life’s hardest seasons, and honouring both the woman who endured and the woman she is becoming.
Interwoven throughout the collection are periodic benediction verses written in the voice of her future self. These offerings do not instruct or rush the reader forward. They arrive as sacred witnesses, recognizing her courage in real time, honouring what she has carried, and reminding her of the wholeness that is already taking root beneath the surface.
Together, these two voices form a single devotion, one that steadies, softens, and restores. A quiet companion for anyone rebuilding herself from the inside out, this work is both a refuge and a remembrance: a place where survival is honoured, tenderness is reclaimed, and the long road back to self is treated as sacred ground.
This is not a book about physical embrace. It is about the quiet ways we learn to carry ourselves with more gentleness, to make room for breath again, and to return, slowly and faithfully, to the home within.
