"This excellent book skillfully showcases Smith’s method for identifying and healing from grief and finding wholeness." – Library Journal Review, January 2025

Dear Black woman, you are not alone.

God has not disregarded your pain and suffering. God sees you. God knows you. God understands.

In Black Woman Grief, Natasha Smith unearths a painful reality that is tangled within our nation’s roots and DNA: trauma, loss, and grief are embedded in the lived experience of the Black woman in the United States. Smith talks about grief that is specifically applicable to Black women, providing them with affirmation and a safe place to exhale. Yet, amid a broken world and broken systems that have weighed down Black women for generations, Smith reminds us that there is hope because the kingdom of God is at hand. In Black Woman Grief, Natasha Smith

• takes us readers through narrative and biblical truths
