pickThis book was a great read for me at this time as my mother is her her final hours or days. The suggestions from the mother are pretty good. I don‘t think many people are ready to say goodbye that final time. The feelings of loss are real. They never go away, but they get easier as we accept our new normal. Some of the suggestions actually made me chuckle. However, many of them will be used in the coming days. 4.5/5
1. Cranberries (bread, cake, jam, sugared - everything!)

3. Fall candles
4. Early morning latte and picture books
5. Crisp outdoor lunch at a nursery

pickA quick reread while my kids played at the park. I love this reminder to cherish the small moments and not just get caught up in work. “Life is made up of moments, small pieces of glittering mica in a long stretch of gray cement.”

pickThis is a perfect rhyming book for students. As well as talks about some advice along with rhyming and vocabulary.
#AboutABook #GiftedToYou Bless my mom! She got this one for me. We enjoyed it together as we did all those little golden books of my childhood.
pickThis book is rather a memoir with heart-wrenching personal stories and some pieces of advice here and there, but Cheryl Strayed definitely writes her answers beautifully, compasionately and with so much common sense and deep empathy.
I've noticed people complained that most of her recommendations were not easily applicable, but hey, these are not psychotherapy sessions, but simply an advice column and for that matter an exceptionally done one!
