The author’s courage, strength and insight presented in journal form and spanning a number of years imparts deep and sometimes very personal insight to the reader. It demonstrates that no matter how traumatic and overwhelming our grief, it is possible to “Choose Life.” While reading, we join the author on her journey. She articulates how sometimes seemingly insignificant events in our lives and brief glimpses at memories can direct us to acceptance and ultimately joy. I did not intend to read it in one sitting, but couldn’t put it down. Beautifully written.
