Alllll the tears!!! Maybe I related to the grief part very well, or it was just so well done. Some very powerful lines. I will definitely use this memoir and re-read it and know that empathy for grieving individuals is so very real and important to understand.
Beautiful, heartbreaking, devastating. Go hug your children, if you have them, extra-close.
This book is not nice. And it's not supposed to be. It concerns child death, the pointless loss of your child and the subsequent grief and it does so perfectly. Be warned, it is heart wrenching, gut punching, visceral and unpleasantly honest.
Another writer I like, Glennon Doyle Melton, coined a term that exactly fits this book: "brutiful." It is brutal, and it is beautiful. Thus: brutiful. If you can stand it, you should read it. That's all.
