Pay pal Don't bid if you won't pay.
Jill mentions in this book that she would like to provide a legacy for her sister, Kim, and she delivers in this exploration of the most difficult question we face when we lose young people whom we love: WHY? The story is narrative that flips back and forth through time and employs Kim's diaries and compositions to examine how Kim came to the irrevocable decision to take her own life in 1990 at the age of 21.The writing in this book comes straight from the author's heart. She elaborates on how her sister's suicide forever changed their entire family and how she herself has managed, with varying degrees of success, to keep her survivor's guilt at bay. She also discusses some of the additional heart-wrenching losses that she suffered after her sister died and how they have impacted her as a mother and wife. .Not sure if I would be able to cope and survive as she has.
