I received a complimentary copy of this book "A Dime to Say I Love You" and all opinions expressed are my own. The title caught my attention, plus the part of loss. I was expecting something completely different from this book. My husband passed away nearly 4 years ago and I was hoping for a book related to overall loss. It's still hard for me and I'm always looking for a book to help me through. This one was more of their journey, their love, their life, I didn't feel it helped me.

Grief is a strange journey, and this book feels like a friend walking along that journey with you. I wish I had found this sooner. I feel this would be especially beneficial for those who have just lost a loved one and are looking for something to help them feel comforted or less alone.
I really loved the space given to the reader for introspection and reflection. Anyone, whether they're grieving or just curious about this book in general, would find these sections at the end of each chapter quite beneficial.

A Dime to Say I Love You is Kathryn Henry’s deeply personal memoir about love, loss, and the wild, weird journey of grief. After losing her wife Lisa to cancer, Kathryn navigates heartbreak while searching for meaning—and starts noticing “dime moments” that feel like signs from beyond. Between gut-wrenching memories, spiritual reflections, and moments of unexpected beauty, she invites readers into her healing process with honesty and heart. It’s raw, tender, and a reminder that love doesn’t end—it just changes form.


This memoir hit way too close to home. Kathryn Henry writes with so much heart and honesty as she shares her wife Lisa’s cancer journey—the love, the pain, the heartbreak, and the promise to keep living fully even after loss. It’s a tough read, not because of the writing, but because it’s real—raw, emotional, and a reminder that tomorrow isn’t promised.


Despite the heaviness, this book gave me strength, a little more optimism, and a lot of insight into healing. It’s short but powerful. If cancer is a sensitive topic for you, definitely approach with care. But if you're looking for connection or comfort while navigating your own loss or a loved one’s illness, this memoir might be the hug you didn’t know you needed.


This book published yesterday. I received a complimentary copy through NetGalley and I am leaving this review voluntarily.


Lastly, F*CK CANCER.

This grief memoir transcends typical loss narratives by exploring spiritual awakening and continued connection beyond death.

A beautiful, brave, and poignant part memoir and part Spirituality guide. Having lost close family members and some dear family friends to the same illness she lost her wife to, this story hit close to home. As a trauma survivor I am constantly looking for ways to heal, grow, and move forward. This book provided me with some new spiritual tools to do so, and was written with great grace and sometimes humour in the face of darkness. I loved the illustrations that were an homage to her late wife’s ancestry. A lovely read.
