While You Were Out: An Intimate Family Portrait of Mental Illness in an Era of Silence by Meg Kissinger

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring sad tense medium-paced

5.0

Absolutely an amazing and sad book. I picked it up because of my brother leaving this world 2 years ago and taking his life. This book really drives home the importance of talking about things and letting it come clean. What a beautiful story by her and her truth about her family and all of the trauma. I cried just thinking about how her family went through it twice, and how I am still coping with my loss. Read with caution in case of triggers.
