Loss and What it Taught Me About Living by Tracey Corbett-Lynch

Loss and What it Taught Me About Living by Tracey Corbett-Lynch

'In my life, I've lost a twin, had an adored sister-in-law suffer a fatal asthma attack at just 31, my brother was murdered, a cherished brother-in-law died in his 40s and then, just when I thought I had coped with all that life could possibly throw at me, the Covid-19 pandemic claimed my beloved mother.'

Tracey Corbett-Lynch has encountered loss in all its guises. This book is the roadmap of her journey through the grief of each loss. It is her story - the things that worked for her along the way, the systems she put in place to cope with the heartache, and how she slowly found a path to recovery.

There is no blueprint for grief, but in writing this book Tracey hopes that her experience can help others navigate grief and loss by learning to live alongside them with strength and grace.

Tracey Corbett-Lynch is Jason Corbett’s older sister. She fought for and won custody of his two children after he was murdered in North Carolina by his second wife Molly Martens and her father Tom Martens.

Ralph Riegel is southern correspondent for the Irish Independent and a regular contributor to RTÉ, BBC and TV3. His previous books include Afraid of the Dark, Shattered, A Dream of Death, and My Brother Jason, which he wrote with Tracey.
