This book was recommended to us by one of our Walthamstow Grief Cafe attendees.
Living on a Seabed is a deeply moving memoir in which journalist Lindsay Nicholson reflects on the deaths of her husband and young daughter within the same year.
Through honest, unembellished writing, Nicholson explores the disorienting landscape of grief—its numbness, its unpredictability, and the slow, uneven process of adapting to life after profound loss.
The book gently shows how grief reshapes a life but also how meaning, connection, and hope can re-emerge over time.
