Mocha Musings
Reflections on life, love,
and chance encounters
A collection of essays
by
Susanne Severeid
“Susanne’s writing is a sweet, lyrical gift handed to us with warm,
inclusive caring and a dash of humor. Her Mocha Musings are a joy to read. One might call them an antidepressant and sometimes a nice glass of champagne or a cup of mocha with a friend. Her beautiful writing provides renewal and hope in these crazy times.”
John Darling, journalist, essayist, poet, author
“I always take the time to read Susanne Severeid’s columns.
Her Mocha Musings give a fresh and meaningful perspective on a range of topics that I can relate to, and which makes my day feel more complete.”
Amy Blossom, retired branch librarian,
Ashland Public Library

Some Thoughts to Help You Through
By Susanne Severeid
Photographs by Pablo van Renteghem
...offers simple thoughts to help you and your family navigate through what is perhaps the most difficult thing any of us will ever be called upon to do, to be there while someone you love deeply is dying.
This is a book for anyone who can use support during this time in their lives.
Beautifully illustrated with photographs of nature and inspired by the death of the author's husband. A "first of its kind" and much needed book for caregivers, hospice workers and family members of loved ones who are very ill or dying.
"For anyone struggling with losing someone you love, this book will help guide you with compassion and beauty."
