Why read it?
1 author picked No Time to Say Goodbye as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book although released back in 1999 it is still relevant today. The author speaks openly and honestly about the different emotions including guilt and loneliness which really resonated with me. The book is full of stories of pain and heartache that I could relate to as well as courage and inspiration.

This book doesn’t hide the brutality of suicide, the stigma, the tragedy, and most of all the suffering and pain of those left behind.
From Amanda's list on coping with grief and loss through suicide.
