Publisher's Summary:
A survivor's guide to death from overdose. This is the story of one mother's grief recovery after her 32-year-old daughter died from a heroin overdose in 2009.
In the author's words: "So perhaps you thought this was going to be a tale of how I traveled to some exotic land, how I left everything behind, and how I met fellow travelers on some road to Zanzibar to recover from my grief. Perhaps you thought this was going to be a story of redemption, of how I lost myself in booze and then found myself on some street corner or dark alley, and then got my life back together again. No, rather this is the story of how I went deep inside myself and found a reservoir of strength in my day to day existence, in the small motions and rituals of ordinary life. For many of us do not have the luxury of 'leaving it all behind'. We must move forward, inch by inch, increment by increment, waking up each day to face a world that seems so empty to us now, climbing an internal mountain every single day - an epic mountain, taller than Mt. Everest, a mountain that the outside world cannot view. So to you, fellow grief travelers, I say, be tough in your own little way. Pull on your sturdy grief knapsack with all the sturdy grief supplies in it, ropes and pulleys, and trudge your way up the grief mountain. Because I'll be waiting for you at the top."

Bought this book for a friend that just lost her ...
Bought this book for a friend that just lost her daughter to a heroin overdose. She felt the message was the same as most books on the topic. She was not in any frame of mind to embrace what the author was offering. Maybe in due time she will re-read it and feel differently.
The Grief Chronicles
I too lost my daughter and found this book most helpful! I appreciated the the author letting me become aware that my way of grieving is fine.
Courageous, real, beneficial
I found this personal account very real and beneficial in regards to her experience with working through the loss of her daughter. Even though each persons story is unique to them the similarities make one feel not alone through the aftermath of an overdose loss.
