An insightful read, is how I would describe the experience. The chapter describing the author's meeting and interview with the bereavement midwife left me teary-eyed.

Sometimes funny, often sad and difficult, this was such an amazing read. It absolutely is not for the faint of heart, but if you can, I would highly recommend it.
