While You Were Out: An Intimate Family Portrait of Mental Illness in an Era of Silence by Meg Kissinger

5.0

Incredibly honest book about what it is like to love someone with a serious mental illness. Also the author ends the book with a Mary Oliver poem which I LOVE

“To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal, to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it: and, when time comes to let it go, to let it go”
