The Unwinding of the Miracle: A Memoir of Life, Death, and Everything That Comes After by Julie Yip-Williams

4.0

Audiobook review. I’m not sure how to rate this book. I don’t know why I added it to my hold list, because I’m not sure I would have set out to read a book about a mom of two young kids dying of cancer (you learn this in the first moments of the book) and I’m not sure who I would recommend it to. It’s just quite sad, as beautiful and amazingly written as it is. Having lost a mother-in-law to cancer when she was 63…which itself felt cruelly young, this felt like a lot to take in. But, I am grateful that Yip-Williams processed for all of us that death is coming no matter what. And it behooves us to come to terms with that and know how we want to live until then and transition to death.
