All I Have Left of You

There is a path from grief to happiness: your own. It's long, you must be willing to walk it, but it's worth it.

When Julia loses her baby, her marriage falls apart, and the world grinds to a halt in a pandemic, she is left with nothing but her grief. But in the solitude of lockdown, something changes within her. Instead of succumbing to grief, she chooses to fight. This is a powerful story of a woman who refuses to be defined by her losses, who finds the courage to rebuild her life, piece by piece.

A moving novel about eternal love, questioning death, and life after loss.

Katerina Gottesleben, born in 1984 in the Czech Republic, is a mother, former international model, author, and photographer who volunteered for several years photographing stillborn and infant loss babies for bereaved parents. Her degree in marketing and communication and her personal experience with loss have shaped her passion project: acknowledging bereaved parents in their parenthood and breaking the taboo around the often-silenced topic of infant loss. With this book, she wants to give hope to those affected and show that even after the darkest hours, there can be light again.
