When I read about this book I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into. I don't read much nonfiction but the family trauma aspect resonated with me. My own experiences as a nurse and person with poor relationships have made me who I am. The losses in my family for the people I care about have not happened yet. I condone the authors rawness. I felt the discomfort. This book will be helpful to others hoping to help themselves or those with traumatic loss intertwined with family lives. I will be thinking about this book and my own stories for the rest of my life. And I will never be the same again.
