Some words are written for the people we love. Others are written because we know what it feels like to lose them.

If You Ever Have to Miss Me is a deeply personal collection of poetry exploring motherhood, grief, love, and the quiet fear of leaving behind the people who need us most.

Written from the perspective of both a daughter who has lost her mother and a mother raising two daughters of her own, these poems move through the beautiful, exhausting, ordinary and heartbreaking moments that shape our lives.

From the love that exists before a child is born to the ache of wishing for one more conversation with someone who is gone, this collection is about the things we hold close, the memories we carry, and the words we hope will remain long after we're no longer here.

Above all, it is a love letter to the people who make a life worth remembering.
