Please be prepared for the emotional rollercoaster of this book. It’s absolutely amazing and beautiful but I did cry. I personally lost my mum a few years ago and this book definitely touched that nerve, however it was absolutely beautiful to hear these stories, to have these wonderful memories shared. (Also definitely check the author’s tick-tock where she shares more stories like this, that’s how I found the book)

This book focuses heavily on the end of life care of the authors patients, there is a lot of care taken with each story but please tread carefully with triggers. She does also discuss aspects of her own life including pregnancy
