Even when I pointed out to them that we knew what's going to happen from the very first paragraph because the author tells us. It was just too much for us all in the end.<br /><br />It sounds like you have a long road ahead. I hope you'll be able to find some refuge here. It can be nice to have a break from it all in cyberspace.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-16258237657525442182011-06-19T17:51:51.997-05:002011-06-19T17:51:51.997-05:00Hope your mom is doing better - wishing the best t...Hope your mom is doing better - wishing the best to you and your family.Florindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09789402061034734894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-58981280828357307282011-06-19T14:51:40.668-05:002011-06-19T14:51:40.668-05:00I'm really sorry to hear about your mom.

It certainly does sound intense, and represents the toll a suicide takes on a family, that her sister has ruminated on this for more than 20 years. Old Yeller was fantastic. I'm interested in The Reading Promise, I'm still reading to my 10 year old, although not every night now. It's such a joy.Louisehttp://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-26836891168700141052011-06-19T08:37:17.172-05:002011-06-19T08:37:17.172-05:00My best to you and your family.My best to you and your family.Jo Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00917704326736252690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-68326764388730025722011-06-19T07:43:06.123-05:002011-06-19T07:43:06.123-05:00It's good that you can be there for your mothe...It's good that you can be there for your mother.

I love reading your reviews and plan to download The History of a Suicide. It sounds rather interesting and I had a friend who committed suicide, too. So, maybe it will shed light on such a horrible ordeal. I am sad to hear about Elizabeth Berg's book.
