I am sorry to write a bad review but the book is very depressing,dark and grim. The poetry in it is gruesume. I feel very sorry for the author,who had a tragic loss of her brother and hope she is coping better now. Perhaps someone in a like state of mind will appreciate the book better than I. My losses this year were a father to cancer and a sister to cancer.Maybe sudden death is responsible for her reactions to brother's death. I found "Healing After Loss" by Martha Hickman,"Grieving the Loss of Someone You Love"by Mitsch and Brookside, and especially "How To Go On Living When Someone You Love Dies" by Therese Rando much more suited to my frame of mind.
