Notes for the everlost: a field guide to grief / Kate Inglis, 196 pgs.
Premature labor results in two tiny twins, one of whom doesn't have much chance. Liam dies at the hospital but Ben comes home. How does a mother cope with this loss? Not very well despite all the helpful people telling her how it could be worse. A stunning memoir of loss, grief, love and survival, I hope like hell I never say some of the incredibly stupid things that Inglis endured. She does recognize that people are very bad at condolences but still recounts a lot of pain brought on by others. All of this just added to the pain that nature provided. Much here is helpful for anyone who is experiencing grief.
