tvanlan9 's review for:
Pardon my vulnerability:
I am afraid I read this book at the best possible time. Or the worst possible time. I picked this up because of my professor’s diagnosis. And being afraid of one day losing a mentor who believed in me, I thought I could borrow a lesson or two from this.
Instead, all I started to see while I read was my mother in Mitch and my grandmother in Morrie. I put this down, afraid aspects of it would come true today. I pick it back up because I need an antidote. Wisdom. How-to’s on grieving before the grief comes.
“I mourn my dwindling time, but I cherish the chance it gives me to make things right” (167).
“‘As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on--in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here’” (174).
This book must become commonplace. For now, I fear I will have to keep this book close.
