"Amy Lin never expected to find a love like the one she shares with her husband, Kurtis, a gifted young architect who pulls her toward joy, adventure, and greater self-acceptance. But on a sweltering August morning, only a few months shy of the newlyweds' move to Vancouver, thirty-two-year-old Kurtis heads out to run a half-marathon with Amy's family. It is the last time she sees her husband alive. Ten days after this seismic loss, Amy is in the hospital, navigating her own shocking medical crisis and making life-or-death decisions about her treatment. What follows is a rich and unflinchingly honest accounting of her life with Kurtis, the vortex created by his death, and the ongoing struggle Amy faces as she attempts to understand her own experience in the context of commonly held "truths" about what the grieving process looks like" -- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

not quite written "in verse" but the chapters are short, with short sentences/paragraphs formatted in a way that is super readable and very poetic in a modern way. When I casually picked it up, thinking I was not currently in the mood for a "grief memoir," I took in the first chapter in one glance and was instantly pulled in--so I ended up starting this one earlier than expected, and then just had to keep reading until I'd finished it.
These pages are filled with so much love intertwined with the heartwrenching pain of having one's life so unexpectedly, irrevocably turned upside down--and also provide a realistic picture of grief (unlike the commonly held misconceptions that the author learns are false).
