Oh boy. At the start I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to finish this book. Books that involve grief and death from a loved one suddenly tends to make my heart hurt. To read about Morgan going through Complicated grief therapy throughout the book really helped me continue this. It sounds kind of silly, maybe ridiculous, but books like this can really help soothe the soul in a way that you wouldn't understand and here I am feeling like it soothed mine.
“Your grief for Will is just as deep as your love, and that’s not something to be ashamed of. I’m so damned proud to be your friend.”
“Complicated grief happens when your rational mind has accepted the loss, but your emotional mind hasn’t quite gotten there. It keeps you stuck in that first, sharp, acute stage of grief and doesn’t let you move forward.”
