“How can grief be so universal, yet so widely misunderstood?”
Amy Lin’s memoir perfectly captures the essence and the many facets of grief. The writing is beautiful and I appreciate the raw honesty of this book.
After the sudden passing of her partner, Amy shares how her life was thrown off kilter, their further plans not coming to fruition, and overall learning to adapt to a new lifestyle.
~ A few of my favorite quotes woven within—
“Grief finds its way into everything. Makes everything a part of itself.”
“Grief is chronic pain.”
“When he dies, I fall out of time.”
**this one especially hit me hard because it evokes the heartbreak and aftermath of a loved one’s death. Time is meaningless because grief is always there in the shadows.
I listened to the audiobook read by the author herself in one sitting! It was a great/heartbreaking experience to go through alongside Amy Lin while she tells her story as if speaking to a dear friend.
This is a heartbreaking read to say the least. Please be kind to yourself and gentle with your heart before picking this one up.

Extremely sad, well-written, and gut-wrenching. Amy Lin has an amazing ability to depict grief and the indescribable nature of it. You grieve with her in many ways.
