Sad but real. I had to go back to the last texts from my brother, which I will probably never delete. He died in July

Victoriahoperose It‘s impossible to describe the pain of losing a sibling. I am unfortunately a part of this sad club. If you ever need someone to talk to, know that you can always drop me a line. ❤️ 6y

This was heartbreaking but I am so happy someone has done it. It seems to have helped so many people. Amazing.

Quick and powerful. I haven't read the Tumblr so these were all new to me. The breakup posts got a bit repetitive though it's understandable why there were so many. The most powerful to me were the horrible things parents said to their kids. When you have a child you are signing up for loving unconditionally forever. Love can mean hard choices but never saying these hateful things. The graphic art added to the emotional impact.

That-Bookish-Hiker I agree! I never understood why people had kids just to be terrible to them. 8y

I was with my dad when he passed away. It was the hardest thing I ever did. I couldn't imagine a 12 year being this strong and handling her cousin's last moments. 😞

Short but moving book. Words have the ability to build up a person or tear down. This quote was from a terminal 10 year old.
