Deeply moving and with great techniques to move past grief

This book is a deeply moving and thought-provoking book. Jeffrey shares his personal journey through loss, grief, and healing with honesty and vulnerability. His story was especially difficult because it was an unexpected death of his loved one. Those are the hardest to deal with. What really stood out to me was how Simmons was able to express the pain of not having closure in a way that felt real and relatable.

His writing is clear and accessible, making it easy to connect with his emotions and experiences. The multiple stories that touched fibers of my heart and brought tears to my eyes are what will remain with me forever. This book helped me reflect on my own life and the importance of cherishing moments with loved ones. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has experienced loss or simply wants to understand grief better.
