The author shares a poignant personal narrative after losing his older son Rob to suicide. Initially engulfed in shock and disbelief, he describes his emotional turmoil and the devastation experienced by his family. Writing became a crucial outlet for his grief, leading to the creation of a book and the realization of the healing power of joining a grief group. This transformative experience highlighted that grief is common to all, and despite its overwhelming weight, shared understanding within a group fosters trust and alleviates isolation as one learns to cope with loss.

There's comfort and power in being part of a group. Revealing your darkest and most intimate thoughts to strangers who truly understand opens you up like you could never imagine.
