Beginnings and Endings with Lifetimes in Between

I just read Beginnings and Endings with Lifetimes in Between and it made me cry. It is one of the clearest and most gentle ways I have seen death and loss explained. The language is simple but not vague, and it speaks directly without feeling cold. It holds space for the truth that all living things begin, live, and eventually end.

The book moves through this idea with quiet clarity. It explains that some lifetimes are long and others are short, and both are complete in their own way. It does not rush to comfort or try to soften what cannot be softened. It offers space to sit with what is hard, and to understand that endings are part of the whole.

The illustrations are soft and grounded, matching the tone of the words. Each page feels steady and calm, with no attempt to distract from the subject. It gives language to something many people struggle to name, and it does so with care. The pacing and rhythm invite reflection without overwhelm. I felt sadness but also peace.

This book is ideal for grieving families or anyone looking for a way to talk about death with honesty and warmth. It is respectful, emotionally safe, and thoughtfully written. A rare and important resource that stays with you long after you close the cover. It is not just a children’s book. It is for anyone trying to make sense of endings.
