emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

 It was poignant and not unhelpful, but I probably should have done the writing prompts. That’s an issue (and my excuse for not doing it) when you only listen to audiobooks in the car.

Kelly reads the audiobook herself and it's the right mix of self-deprecating humor, memoir, and helpful tips for grief. Though her grief experience was different than mine her tips work for all sorts of grief and she's intentional about discussing all kinds of grief experiences.
