Saw a post on instagram with an excerpt from the book and it really resonated with me. I would normally not like a book like that a lot, but in many parts it was somehow exactly what I needed to hear at the moment.

It allows you to grieve over things which are unspoken and unseen but felt at deepest of your core !!

We have all gone through emotional parts and we have dozen of feelings which we can not explain in words or can't tell anyone. There's the point where we are stuck and don't get the clarity as to what to do.
And this book helps you to give words to your feeling, to give you clarity of life so that you can take a step ahead toward your life. You should read it.

Fragrance of a Dead Rose is one of the books that literally helped me heal from the trauma I had never talked about. This book is a gentle reminder for anyone who is going through some difficult times. This book is certainly meant for those who have experienced loss and are struggling to move forward. It really helped me during the phase of my life where I found myself completely lost and directionless. The best thing I learned from this book is that regardless of life's difficulties or how weary you may feel, there is always a reason to keep living.

Even a dead rose still smells great . And amid the shattered pieces of a broken heart, there's always some hope.

Why were we meant to cross pathsif we were strangers before and we are strangers now?

In a world full of worries, you are my moment of happiness.

You are the moon to my earth, and I have never been able to reach you.

Love was not wrong; timing was. Your earth was in a different galaxy, my moon was in a different sky.

I've been dealing with so much emotionally lately and this really hit home for me. For anyone going through any kind of emotional turmoil in their life and feeling completely unworthy, I urge you to read this.

Poetry books have always been my favourites. I adore their covers and titles. I am very obsessed with poetry books. They hold a special place in my heart. Poetry books, in my opinion, are a natural remedy for depressive feelings. I frequently read and quote poetry books when I’m unable to put into words my own ideas and sentiments.

I took four days to finish Fragrance of a Dead Rose: A Reminder of Hope by Zaishah because it is so realistic and brings back memories, despite being a short book. However, it’s a fantastic book. This book can be a gentle reminder for those who are struggling in life, having trouble in relationships, searching for hope, or attempting to regain their self-worth.

There is always a reason to live, no matter how difficult your life has been or how worn out you are. Even a dying rose smells marvellous. This book helps those who are trying to recover from situations they are unable to talk about.

Enjoyed this book more than K had expected.

Fragrance of a dead Rose, a well written script containing life instructions that are worth reading. The most common but fundamental set of instructions that we all know but at some point we all forget these simple things. We tend to dissolve ourselves into the grief, without analyzing the situation.

For me, it was something like I would definitely like to read whenever I feel like thinking over decisions and stuff happ Ned to me that holds no value.

It took me to the past, just one thing I kept thinking while reading this book, just that one thing and with that thing's perspective I read this book.

If you're struggling to move on in life you should definitely give it a go.

It's 5/5 for me.

This book is amazing. If you find yourself stuck in life and don't know how to get yourself out of the funk, this book is a gentle reminder that all is not lost. It speaks truth, maybe truth you don't exactly want to hear in the moment but knowing it will benefit you in the long run! 😁

I think at a different point in my life this would not have resonated with me as much but after seeing a post with an excerpt I immediately ordered and was pleasantly surprised with just how much it hit for me! Really enjoyed this even if I did feel a little bit (a lotta bit) seen!!!!!

This book felt as if it has described my own story. Apt and crisp while delivering the emotions but definitely if you are in a healing stage...give it a read. This book can make you shatter down into tears in some pages but the same will help you to get back on your feet.

Read this throughout the year, and it helped me get through some rough times. It's nice to crack open every once in a while. I find that I like reading poetry more sporadically and this was one of those books I could do that with.

This book gives a gentle reminder that no matter how shattered or tormenting your life is, there will always be a reason to live and let things go. Every reader can definitely connect to it.
Some of the material felt so cliche!
