Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m a little hesitant to review this because grief is different for everyone, and reviewing memoirs seems judgey. But at times this felt very privileged, which I admit is an odd thing to say about someone widowed young and suddenly. I both felt for her and was annoyed by her in equal measure. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I connected so much to Melissa‘s journey as someone who has also lost my SO, who had to make similar decisions about life support, and who has lived through my own grief journey. Although grief is an extremely personal and unique experience, it‘s nice to know you‘re not alone. Melissa‘s story was relatable, real, & beautiful. Her grief & love were palpable through her words. This was an incredible tribute to a beautiful relationship.

After just a few pages, I knew this one would hit home for me in a big way. Although completely different situations, there are some very spot on similarities between Melissa and Joel‘s story and my own story of losing my love and partner of 8 years, Rob. ❤️❤️❤️ Tissues and wine a must. #grief #memoir #loveisbeautiful

This was I think one of January‘s First Reads free selections from amazon prime. These 2 had a sweet relationship 💗

Wow! I didn't quite know what to expect going into this. I cried throughout most of the book, which I've never done before. I cried while writing the review!
Widowish is a very well written memoir. I felt so much emotion for everyone. Melissa is so fortunate to have been surrounded by so much love. I admired how raw she was; I'm sure some things were extremely difficult to share.
It is a reminder that good people and true love both still exist.
