"Simple Acts of Care is the book you need when you feel useless in the face of a loved one’s suffering." —Annabel Monaghan, Bestselling Author of Nora Goes Off Script
"By sharing her own family’s experience, Natalie connects with the reader emotionally while giving original, useful advice." — Zibby Owens, bestselling author and podcast host, Totally Booked
When a friend or family member is dealing with illness, grief, crisis, overwhelm, or the demands of caregiving, the instinct to help is immediate—but knowing what to say or do can be hard. Natalie Silverstein offers clear, caring guidance for supporting others in ways that are useful, meaningful, and truly comforting.
Through short reflective essays, practical suggestions, and beautifully designed reminders, Simple Acts of Care helps readers understand how small gestures can offer real comfort in difficult times.
Here’s what makes Simple Acts of Care an essential guide for supporting others:
• Practical Guidance for Hard Moments: Clear advice for what to say, what to do, and how to support someone who is hurting.
• For Grief, Illness, Caregiving, and Crisis: A helpful resource for showing up during loss, medical challenges, difficult transitions, and life upheaval.
• Compassionate and Easy to Use: Short essays, reflective prompts, and full-color illustrations make the book approachable and reassuring.
• A Meaningful Gift for Difficult Times: A supportive book for friends, families, support groups, workplaces, and caregiving communities.
Simple Acts of Care is a compassionate guide for anyone who wants to help a grieving friend, support a caregiver, comfort a loved one during illness or loss, and show up with empathy when words feel hard to find.
