I don‘t own this book but feel the need to purchase a copy because there are so many paragraphs I want to remember. It‘s an excellent account of grief of a young widow following the unexpected death of her husband.

I lost my Mom on Dec 31 and these are so true!
We often recommended books we enjoyed to each other and there have been a few I have read lately that I think we would talk about. Miss you, Mom 🫶🏻
“…I can not ever seem to stop the remembering. I can only keep it at a distance for a while…a shadow I can not get beyond…”
Loss and grief are universal. Author Amy Lin plumbs the depths of the physical, cognitive, and emotional wreckage of grief. Beautifully written.

Read this in 2 sittings. It was beautiful and sad. Very accurate depictions of grief.
Ok, so Litsy app won‘t open and here‘s how the website on my phone wants to post the pic. However this book is positioned, it‘s a winner. A grief memoir that shows how all-encompassing grief will be, especially when you lose someone way too soon. I loved that it was written in vignettes and flew through it because of that. Emotional and searing.
A beautiful and heart-wrenching memoir of loss. Amy Lin‘s young husband of only a couple of years unexpectedly dies a few months into the pandemic. What follows is a period of grief and loss and abandonment that is incredibly powerful to read. This is cry against a society that seems to want people to move on as quickly as possible.
Some aspects really resonated with me while others did not. I don‘t cry easily and really struggle to allow myself to feel emotions. Her depression and utter heartbreak is relatable, but I didn‘t see myself in this.
I listened to this as a audiobook, narrated by the author. The version I had from #BOTM had her reading out the numbers of each chapter and this bothered me because there‘s so many chapters and it took me out of the story a bit.
