This book was fantastic! Some of the essays were definitely stronger than others, but it was all around great. I cannot wait to share it with others. One of the pieces that really stands out to me is the woman who had to face the death of her husband and the knowledge she has since used to talk to others about their own experiences of death, including a small child. I imagine there is at least one essay for every person in here--you will find something to connect to. The mother whose son had a traumatic brain injury and her battles within the medical and insurance system in the United States. The son that throws a goodbye party with his mom for his mom who is dying. There is so much in here, and it does not always feel so heavy and so sad or, even when it does, there is something to learn there. Honestly, it is really hard to give it away! If I did not know at least several people that I think will love it, I may not be able to. If you haven't, you should read it!
