My cousin Portia, i am so proud of you for writing and publishing your very first book ! You have been through so much , yet you still keep on smiling through the pain . I know our loved ones smiling down from Heaven on you right now !!

The book is definitely a must read. The book gives you numerous ways you can navigate
through grief with a clear understanding on how to cope with grief by channeling your feelings and emotions. I love that I purchased the bundle set with the journal so that I can learn how to express my feelings by writing them out. The T shirt was a plus with excellent quality.

This a book is a soul-stirring, deeply compassionate guide for anyone navigating the profound pain of loss. Portia doesn’t shy away from the rawness of grief but instead walks with you through it, offering understanding, encouragement, and hope.

Portia shares not only her own journey but also creates a sacred space for readers to feel seen in theirs. Whether you are grieving a loved one, a relationship, or a chapter of life that’s closed, this book reminds you that your pain is valid—and that healing is possible.

This isn’t just a book you read; it’s a companion you hold onto. It teaches you how to sit with sorrow, embrace the process of healing, and open your heart to grow again. Portia has given us a gift—a guidebook for the soul in its most tender moments.

Carrying the Weight is more than a book about grief. It’s a beacon of hope

When i first got the book, i didn’t know how it was going to help me, but the book has taught me ways to speak to someone that is grieving. I never could formulate the right words but now i can. Also, I will be gifting this book to members of my family since we have had some recent losses. I’m sure this book will help us heal and understand that we are not alone! Thank you Portia Hall Turner for sharing your journey!

I absolutely enjoyed reading this book and it came at the perfect time for me being that I am grieving at this time. It was very helpful to read that someone else experienced the same feelings and emotions that I am currently facing. Very well written with an organized thought process. Looking forward to more books from the author!

I love the helpful questions throughout out the chapters that allows you to tap in and answer those much needed questions to journey to your healing.
