Susan Bloch’s memoir, Travels with My Grief, continues to win hearts and accolades with its deeply moving narrative. The memoir has been honored with the 2024 Nancy Pearl Book Award and was awarded first place in the memoir category of the 2023 Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards as well as in the Transformation Travel category of the 2023 Memoir Book Prize.
A powerful exploration of grief, courage, and renewal, Travels with My Grief chronicles Bloch’s decision to leave her successful career in the UK and relocate to India following the sudden loss of her husband. Immersing herself in India’s vibrant culture and chaotic beauty, Bloch invites readers on a transformative journey through the mental, physical, and spiritual challenges of rebuilding life after loss.
“Emotionally raw, endearingly wry, and sweetly seductive, Travels with My Grief is a journey through the mental, physical, and spiritual terra incognita brought on by loss,” says Kim Barnes, Pulitzer finalist and author of In the Wilderness: Coming of Age in Unknown Country.
More than a travel memoir, Bloch’s story serves as an inspirational guide to resilience and healing. Through trust in newfound friendships, leaps of faith, and her bold decision to embrace the unknown, Bloch offers readers a window into how life’s greatest challenges can also be its most profound opportunities for transformation.
Comparisons to Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat Pray Love are inevitable, yet Travels with My Grief stands apart as a compelling and relatable companion, appealing to both fans of Gilbert’s book and those seeking a fresh, alternative perspective. Engaging, uplifting, and refreshingly honest, Travels with My Grief is a must-read for anyone navigating loss, seeking hope, or simply looking for a life-affirming journey through the highs and lows of the human experience.
Travels with My Grief is available now on Kindle and in paperback on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Learn more about Susan Bloch and her books at susanblochwriter.com.
