“Grief flows like a stream in the core of our being.” This book is very heartbreaking and was difficult to read sometimes because of how raw the author’s emotions were. I have experienced a lot of grief in my life and I felt connected to the concept of her and her kids grief. It doesn’t go away, you just keep on living. This book also talked a lot about the stigma surrounding suicide and how different people react to something so tragic. I think the constant talk about Rob’s depression and anxiety, as well as her own was something we don’t hear about so realistically in memoirs. I will be buying this book. Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for this arc copy for an honest review.

What a tear jerker, some sad, happy,relief, but most of all understanding. This book very much hit horror me on a personal level for anyone struggling.with or if you know someone who is suffering a lot of the time in silence,reach out,, because you will never know until you ask the question of that's what someone wants to be asked would highly recommend

Vonnie and her family share their healing journey in this book and I was moved by how in sharing her story, she never takes away from Rob for taking his own life. And for someone who has had a family member take their own life, this was a comforting read.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.
I hope anyone who reads this finds some healing or comfort as well.

I could not read it because it was only available via protected PDF. Would love to read this book but would.need Kindle formatting.

A beautiful, heart-wrenching story about the impact of the author's late husband's suicide. Written in a series of letters, she details her healing and grieving process, from re-living memories to finding support from family and friends. I was blown away by the author's strength and ability to have so much compassion for her husband. Many assume suicide is a selfish act, but Woodrick discusses the pain that underlies those who take their own life, in a way that allows you to take away in the other person's shoes. This is a great read for destigmatizing suicide.
