In the past 3 years, I have lost several family members.
The ones that left the biggest hole in my heart include the loss of my husband in 2021 due to cancer.
And just when I thought my pain could not get any worse, 9 months later, my dear 23-year-old son passed away from a fentanyl overdose.
During this time of grief, I read many books on the topic of death, grief & loss, becoming a widow, losing a child, and "moving on". The only book that stood out during this haze of grief has been this book, The Grieving Brain. It was not something I read in one night, but a book that took me a while to digest and complete.
After losing loved ones who are such a big part of your life, it is hard to make sense of it all. While this book did not make me "feel" better, it did help me process some of the grief.
In loving memory of J.A.D.L. and J.P.K.B.
