Zármutek patří k lidskému životu. Dříve, nebo později se bude každý z nás vyrovnávat se smutkem nebo ztrátou. Ale co říct, když se to nejhorší přihodí někomu, koho milujeme – a jak se vyrovnat s tím, když se to přihodí nám? Tato laskavá, dojemná a povznášející kniha nabízí podporu a útěchu každému, kdo zrovna prochází bolestivým obdobím, bez ohledu na to, co ho způsobilo. Cathy se s námi dělí o svou vlastní zkušenost, jaké je to žít se zármutkem a jak v tomto krutém světě nalézt naději a radost. Výsledkem je návod na přežití pro drsné chvíle, paprsek světla, který k vám pronikne v temných dnech a který vám připomene, že nejste sami. „Tuto knihu jsem napsala pro sebe, ale taky pro vás. I když si v srdci nosíte nesmírný žal a neumíte si představit, že byste se někdy mohli cítit lépe, vězte, že v tom nejste sami.“

The wise and inspiring book from the bestselling author of The Last Act of Love.

In the summer of 1990 - two weeks before his GCSE results, which turned out to be the best in his school - Cathy Rentzenbrink's brother Matty was knocked down by a car on the way home from a night out, suffering serious head injuries. He was left in a permanent vegetative state. Over the following years, Cathy and her parents took care of Matty - they built an extension onto the village pub where they lived and worked; they talked to him, fed him, bathed him, loved him. But there came a point at which it seemed the best thing they could do for Matty - and for themselves - was let him go. With unflinching honesty and raw emotional power, Cathy describes the unimaginable pain of losing her brother and the decision that changed her family's lives forever.

A powerful, timely and incredibly moving memoir in the bestselling tradition of Blake Morrison, Joan Didion and Ruth Picardie.
