liz_kellebrew's review against another edition
4.0
Easy to get swept up into this book; I read it through in a single sitting. For those familiar with loss (and who isn't, to some extent), Cannon's story will resonate. Brutally honest and ultimately compassionate, she maps the process of dealing with the various stages of grief and ultimately coming to a place where healing can begin.

Days before she turned 33, Sarah Cannon's husband suffered a traumatic brain injury at work that changed everything about her marriage and the life they had planned.
Her memoir, The Shame of Losing, tells how she navigated her new world, from hospital, to rehabilitation, to bureaucratic battles with Workers Comp, all with a husband who only sort of was the man she had married. It is an honest look at at how an ordinary wife and mother coped -- and didn't cope -- with unexpected tragedy. It is excellent.
