It's never enjoyable to read about the death of a child, but Greene writes so beautifully about his precious daughter and the aftermath of her tragic death. I remember reading about Greta's death when it happened and it really stuck with me because I had a 10-month old at the time and I was so devastated for her family. I had followed their story and was looking forward to this memoir, if only to see how his family was moving forward. This memoir is unique because it talks about grieving without religion. As someone that is not religious, it was fascinating to read about the ways Greene & his wife dealt with their grief spiritually through retreats and other ceremonies. I can't imagine how hard this was to write and it was hard to read at times, but I'd put this book up there with Being Mortal as being a life-changing look at life, death, and love.
