About this item

by Astrid Oliver (Author)

This is a story of grief.
This is a story of confronting a death out of order.

In this poignant, moving account, Astrid Oliver depicts the struggle of coming to terms with the death of her child through the letters she writes to her son. Grappling with the circumstances of his death, she portrays her relationship with her son, how it feels to be on the other side of a death out of order, and her contact with the grief counselor who nudges her along on the journey.

Facing the death of a child and working through the impossible layers of accepting it, Astrid speaks to what it means to have complicated grief, conveys the questions that arise in the search to understand what has become of her child, and opens the door to the possibility that there is something that connects us to our children, even after death.

Brutal. Honest. And Real.
