It took me a while to write this review, as I had to take a few days to truly process what I had read.It is not very often I give a book a 5 star review, but if just once in my lifetime I was able to give a book 10 stars, I would award it to this book without question.This is not a story of sadness and pain, but rather a beautiful tribute to his wife, who I wish I could have known.I have the utmost respect for Darren Humphries; not just for being brave enough to publish a story so close to his heart for the world to see, but for the way he dealt with the situation he was in. The death of a loved one is something we all have to go through, unfortunately, but I cannot put into words the admiration I have for Darren, for going through what he did and coming out the other side; something many of us would not have been able to do.It is indeed unsentimental, but at the same time absolutely full of emotion and told in such a raw and honest way you really connect with it. After reading this, it is very clear just how in love Darren was with his wife and how much he cares for his children, who really are lucky to have him. He has taken a subject so utterly destroying and made it uplifting and informative; while there were parts that made me cry, there were also parts that made me smile and even laugh.The subject of this book may put you off, but I urge you to read this book. I promise you will not forget it. It is beautifully written and utterly thought-provoking. Darren is truly inspirational.
