I Keep Trying to Catch His Eye: A Memoir of Loss, Grief, and Love by Ivan Maisel

---

I wouldn't have thought to pick up a suicide grief memoir from the perspective of a father and sports writer, if the book jacket hadn't described a loss so eerily identical to my own. I had to put the book down for weeks at time in order to stay afloat...four years later, I burn down the days to fend off memory's presence, just like incense.

I'm grateful to have found it. I'm sending it home for my dad to read.
