Who I am.

I write about the landscape of grief, nature, and the wisdom of fools. The author of four books, my essays, poems, and reviews have been published in over 50 journals, including in the Huffington Post and Colorado Review. I’ve won the River Teeth Nonfiction Book Award, the Chautauqua and Literal Latte’s essay prizes, and my work has been nominated for four Pushcart Prizes and named a notable by Best American Essays. My account of hiking in Yosemite to deal with my wife’s death, Mountains of Light, was published by the University of Nebraska Press. http://www.markliebenow.com.

Advice for Grief Recovery



My friend Fred Erwin recently wrote what he would share with people if they were grieving. His words are filled with wisdom, truth and compassion. These are his thoughts with a few of my own. 

Pay attention to your grief.  
Find relief in the rituals and prayers of your tradition, whatever they are.
