This book is a true story of my lived experience. Some names were changed to protect privacy. I wrote this book partly because I thought it would be therapeutic. For anyone who has ever experienced the violent death of a loved one, grief is overwhelmingly unbearable and complicated. When someone you love dies, it is one of the worst trials you can suffer in life, and for anyone who feels hopeless in their grief, I share in your pain and sorrow."
