When Marcy Kelly learns that her son Michael has been found on the floor of his apartment, her world shatters. In her moving memoir, she recounts the rawness of her grief and her struggle to accept his death. She searches for answers about what happened to him while navigating the painful first holidays without her son. Both an unflinching account of loss and a celebration of the forty-five years she shared with the son she adored, she reveals that acceptance doesn’t mean letting go. It means finding new ways to carry love forward. With honesty and tenderness, she explores the denial that follows sudden loss, the different ways couples grieve, and the realization that mourning has no set timeline. She has been featured in Narrative Magazine and her co-written script, Fool Me Twice, won the Producers Guild of America Best Screenplay Award.
