A bit of a trigger warning, of course from the book description this book is about a woman trying to cope after husband's suicide. For most of the book they just say that he committed suicide without details, but do end up going into detail of how he died.

While I think this book was very well done, it is trauma after trauma and may be hard for some people to read through.
