This Took Everything is a poetry collection for the days that ask too much and the body that keeps showing up anyway. These poems are for you. You're not alone in this.
Written like a love letter, these poems speak gently to the ones navigating chronic illness, fatigue, grief, and burnout or the quiet exhaustion of surviving - these poems are both witness and companion.
Whether someone holds it in a hospital room, a quiet apartment, or a bookstore aisle-they will likely feel it. With tenderness and truth, these poems meet you where you are, in the moments when staying feels like the bravest thing you can do.Inside, you'll find three quiet sections-Fatigue. Grief. Grace.-offering soft company on the days that feel too heavy to carry alone.
It's a companion for soft days, flare-up days, grief days - a place to feel seen without having to explain. If you've ever felt like you're falling behind in a world that demands resilience, this book holds space for you. It speaks to the version of you that still shows up - even when showing up feels impossible. The one who cancels plans they were looking forward to. The one who whispers I'm fine when they're anything but. The one who aches in silence, but keeps trying. The one who's ever whispered I'm fine when they were breaking inside.This is for the body that's still trying. This is for you.
