Comfort: A Journey Through Grief by Ann Hood
Struggling to come up with a rating for this memoir.
It made me deeply reflect on my parents'/brother's loss of my sister, Bonnie, when she was almost 6 years old. It made me realize the grief that must still live in my parents and their coping mechanisms.
The first day I read it I couldn't sleep at night, talked on the phone for about seven hours, and became wildly intoxicated. I've never seen myself crumble like that before. So I then put it down for a couple months.
When I picked it back up yesterday, as I'm on holiday, I didn't fall deeply into it. I really just wanted to finish it without getting annoyed at little things the author would mention. I know that if I had read it straight through my brain wouldn't have minded certain things.
Anyway, this book was horribly relateable and made me sob like a baby. That even one person can lose a child is sickening. And to think that my parents have survived and poured their love into me... I am uncontrollably crying just thinking about it.
I will leave this book unrated because how can I do otherwise, really.
