The Ghosts We Keep

This is a book about loss, and how to find the strength to keep going after your whole life seems shattered. It's a very, very hard and consuming task, but is necessary. Liam is going through it, trying to pick pieces of his older brother's life while looking for sad strength to continue his own.

“I was foolish in my belief that grief was a straightforward thing. I thought the first wave would hit, and gradually the feelings of sadness and desperation would slip away until I found myself normal again. But I was so very wrong. Because grief is a complicated, ugly, messy thing. And it makes you do complicated, ugly, messy things.”

It's a heartbreakingly real story.
