Publisher's summary

"My aunt wrote down the story of her life with depression. She didn't share it, so I’m sharing it for her.” A true story spoken from a sufferer of depression. The ugly truths and the painful battles. Combined with the story from someone who loved them, how they tried to support, and the painful process of losing them. All shared with the hope to help others and encourage support.

“I found a folder with typed A4 sheets of nicotine stained pages, containing my aunt's deepest darkest thoughts and feelings of her life with depression, while clearing out her home in the days following her death."

I'm sharing them in the hope that her life will leave a legacy and her battle will encourage others to ask for help.

Wow

I highly recommend this book, especially if you have a loved one that suffers with this. It was beautifully written and touched my heart in so many ways. It was hard to read through because it affected me so deeply. I have battled depression most of my life, and I could see myself in everything that was discussed. Touching. Beautiful. Moving. Eyeopening. Thank you T.J. Atkinson for writing this.

It was a mirror

As someone who struggles daily with depression, and had his first suicide attempt while still in elementary school. This was a hauntingly familiar story. I'd gone into the book skeptic that it would down the darker alleys that lurk in the depressive's mind but Ms. Atkinson does a wonderful job. Anyone who cares about a depressive should listen to this to get an inside peek at what you may not even know about what is going through your loved one's head.

I received a copy of this book at my request in exchange for a fair review.
