money for breast cancer awareness, you speak so briefly and eloquently in this book. why did you want to sit down and have it in the pages here? thank you, you are right, unfortunately, i know grief well. i will never forget the day my mother had a seizure, collapsed, died with me and my family by her side in my child shood home. over a decade later, my husband and i lost a pregnancy. each time these happened i felt lost and a lot of shame for having all of these feelings about grief and about loss. and i wrote this book because i don t want other people to do that to themselves. i want people to know if you lost someone you love and are you struggling and it s been days, weeks, months, years even, that s okay. you know, grief is a formal part
