My Grief Is Not Like Yours: Learning to Live After Unimaginable Loss, A Daughter�s Story� by Theo Boyd is a heartbreaking story that, while truly so terrible for the author, will also show any reader that there is a lot of hope out there for others dealing with grief. This story, such a very personal one for the author, should be read by those dealing with their own grief who are looking for a situation or person who can help guide them through this journey and hopefully heal. Once you pick it up and start reading, I can assure you that you will not want to put it back down until you are finished.
ââ?¬Å"My Grief Is Not Like Yoursââ?¬Â? is the story of Theo Boyd, a woman who was always very close to her parents, from her childhood and on up into being an adult. Theo grew up in Texas with a father who was a peanut farmer and preacher. Her mother, although completely deaf, was a woman of strength who kept their family together through whatever life brought. In 2019, however, this family fell apart when Theoââ?¬â?¢s mother was killed in a horrible accident. As the author is attempting to work through her own grief over losing her mother, she also must take care of her father who completely falls apart after losing the love of his life. As hard as Theo tries to help her father, nothing works, and he eventually takes his own life. Now this amazing woman must deal with not losing just one parent but both parents, people who were always there for her and supporting her. This situation, to me, is just inconceivable.
Theo Boyd has given readers an inspiring and very honest look into how she personally dealt with an indescribable tragedy. The writing is poignant, honest, and very courageous. There were times when I was crying buckets as I read her story and other times when I was actually smiling. It is definitely a whirlwind of emotions as the pages are turned and one that, in the end, brings the reader to a place of absolute hope and belief that they can come out the other end of the grief process whole and able to go forward.
ââ?¬Å"My Grief Is Not Like Yours,ââ?¬Â? as this title shows us, is a memoir that honestly shows how no two people will grieve the same. I think that is the greatest wisdom shown in the story. While anyone can learn from Theoââ?¬â?¢s story it is at the end, a story that is hers alone, but one that will show others there is hope no matter how you personally handle your grief. In these pages I felt that all of us are allowed to learn, to accept, and to feel that there is someone else on our side who understands that while they cannot take away your grief, they can recognize it and will walk along beside you as you follow your own path.
Theo Boyd has given all readers a chance to move forward with this book. ââ?¬Å"My Grief Is Not Like Yoursââ?¬Â? is a story that shows there is always hope but it is not a simple or short process. Everyone must navigate it in their own time and their own way. I thank the author for being brave enough to put her story down on paper and share it with everyone. It took a lot of courage, and the result is so very worth it. I would highly recommend this book to all. 5 Stars!
