When death takes something from you give it back

When death takes something from you give it back / Naja Marie Aidt, 133 pg.

The author's child died in an accident at age 25 and the family can not cope. How do you deal with such loss?  The raw emotions on display here can be jarring but this is the real deal.  How to decide if his undamaged organs should be harvested?  How to deal with the constant reminders of his life and of his death?  How to continue on with your life, your surviving children, anything productive?  The author smoked a lot of cigarettes while pondering and writing. The pain revealed is substantial.  Not for the faint of heart because this will break your heart.
