I can not imagine the feelings that author, Peg must have felt with the loss of her mom at such a young age. I am fortunate, that my mom is still alive. Yet, she is getting older and I know one day my life will be in a stand still with the loss. It is something I think about but at the same time I try to push the thoughts as far away as I can.

While I have not felt the same loss that Peg does in her book; I did feel like Peg gave a very real insight to grief. She not only had to navigate her mom's loss but many, many years later her stepmom and father. Being a caregiver to a family family can be vey overwhelming. This book was slow reading for me but that is because at times I was really digesting what I was reading. Readers who have experienced the loss of a mom or even dad may be able to relate to Peg's story.
