In other words, safety. In other words, care. I know it is possible to find these things without her--I know they are there. But it can be so hard to ask. So much is unknown.\" \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRebecca Spiegel is working as a teacher in New Orleans when she learns of her sister's suicide. Only after the funeral does shock give way to grief--and to many questions. How could Emily do this to herself? How could she have abandoned all those who loved her? And what could have been done differently to prevent this devastating loss? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the days and weeks that follow, Spiegel embarks on a search for answers. She unpacks family history, documents the last traces of her sister's life, and questions what more she could have done to prevent her death. Unsparingly honest and resistant to simple solutions, \"This clear-eyed reckoning offers a path toward understanding what always exists on the other side of grief: the joyful fact of a deep and abiding love\" (Camille T. Dungy).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571311962\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256","brand":"Rebecca Spiegel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44431967125685,"sku":"9781571311962","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_5780edf1-1d58-4481-88d8-019ae5601038.jpg?v=1721139120","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/without-her-a-chronicle-of-grief-and-love-9781571311962","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
