- Marsha
- Gray
- Hill's
- Grief
- and
- Grit(s)
- is
- an
- emotional
- odyssey
- that
- illuminates
- the
- complexities
- of
- grief,
- while
- offering
- a
- beacon
- of
- hope
- and
- inspiration
- for
- those
- navigating
- their
- own
- journeys
- of
- loss.
- This
- extraordinary
- memoir
- serves
- as
- a
- testament
- to
- the
- resilience
- of
- the
- human
- spirit
- and
- the
- power
- of
- love
- to
- transcend
- even
- the
- darkest
- of
- times.In
- times
- of
- unprecedented
- panic,
- we
- see
- what
- we’re
- really
- made
- of.Though
- the
- worldwide
- pandemic
- affected
- each
- of
- us
- differently,
- this
- time
- of
- turmoil
- brought
- one
- thing
- into
- stark
- clarity:
- the
- value
- of
- human
- life.
- When
- tragedy
- begets
- triaging
- and
- certain
- demographics
- are
- seen
- as
- more
- disposable
- than
- others,
- what
- does
- that
- say
- about
- our
- society?
- And
- what
- does
- it
- say
- about
- us?This
- is
- a
- story
- about
- America,
- about
- how
- we
- view
- the
- most
- vulnerable
- people
- in
- our
- society—our
- aging
- and
- elderly—both
- in
- times
- of
- crisis
- and
- in
- our
- everyday
- lives.This
- is
- also
- a
- story
- about
- a
- mother
- and
- daughter,
- of
- a
- mother
- raising
- her
- daughter
- in
- love,
- faith,
- and
- confidence,
- then
- the
- bizarre
- role-reversal
- as
- that
- mother
- deteriorated
- to
- the
- helplessness
- of
- a
- child.
- Nothing
- can
- prepare
- you
- for
- that
- intensity
- of
- sorrow
- and
- joy.Nothing
- can
- prepare
- you
- for
- what
- happens
- when
- the
- coroner
- refuses
- to
- show
- up
- and
- pronounce
- your
- mother
- legally
- dead,
- either.In
- this
- stunning
- debut,
- author
- Marsha
- Hill
- invites
- you
- into
- a
- personal
- look
- at
- an
- uncomfortable
- truth:
- how
- we
- treat
- our
- elderly
- today
- defines
- our
- own
- future.
- Full
- of
- tragedy
- and
- triumph,
- laughter
- and
- tears,
- grief
- and—yes,
- some
- good,
- old-fashioned
- grits—Grief
- and
- Grit(s)
- is
- not
- only
- a
- reflection
- of
- the
- life
- and
- tragic
- death
- of
- Adaline
- Gray,
- but
- the
- power
- of
- our
- generation
- to
- fight
- for
- human
- dignity
- at
- every
- stage
- of life.
