Read from cover to cover in one evening。 Easy to read because it’s so real - there’s a lot of advice about grieving but never once is it preachy。 The author lays it all on the table and you find yourself wanting to be one of the friends who helps her live with loss。

So much of what Marisa says resonates with my own experience before and after my father’s passing。 She makes me feel like I’m on the receiving end of a knowing hug, a knowing smile。 I completed this book in one sitting。 Go get you a copy!

Marisa does such a wonderful job bringing humanity and insight to an experience that is so under discussed and misunderstood。 A lovely book。
