Still fresh in the throws of grief, I wasn't certain if I'd be able to get through this. (I didn't know what it was about prior to the trigger warning at the beginning.) Decided I was going to try it anyway, and I'm so glad I did. It broke my heart several times and put me back in that initial loss mindset. I cried. I cried like a fool actually. At my desk. At work. But it was such a good story and so well written. A truly beautiful tale.
bailedthe beta male chapter did me in. i have zero patience for toxic masculinity.
“After the year of fire
vines rise up
through the rest of our lives
of smoke
of flame
of memory.
As if to say
We're still here.
As if to say
Remember us.”

pickIn posing the question "What will you do with the time you have left?", TJ Klune gives us another funny and heartwarming story about life, loss, grief and tea.
I laughed, I cried....I appreciated life just a little bit more.
But not tea..it's like warm water with yard clippings...I'm more of a coffee kinda guy.
Bowling, arcade, & swimming for 14 year old girls‘ party, while I get to do this! 💜💙 Last year I flew through Black Butterflies which was short listed for the Women‘s Prize, so I feel like I should continue the tradition and try Brotherless Night on my Kindle. (Not my favorite format.)

pickThis book is different from my usual. It‘s about a hospice nurse, and each chapter is about a different patient who she has helped as they are dying. She talks a lot about the things that happen during this time, such as dead family members appearing to the dying patient. It‘s a fascinating look at a difficult job. Being there for the family, making sure there‘s no pain, and being a source of info and comfort for family. ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️
