“Anyone who has experienced loss or trauma knows there is a Before and an After - and no one is prepared for the After. It can feel like finding oneself in an impenetrable forest of darkness inhabited only by fear, pain and regret with no discernible way forward. "This is Not the End" is a light in this darkness; a digestible, accessible and down-to-earth guide to finding (and creating) one's path in the depths of After. With compassion, humor and real talk grounded in her own experience, Sossamon-Pogue shares tangible steps and strategies to navigating life-changing tragedies and finding a way out of the forest. As someone navigating their own version of an After, I found it to be helpful and encouraging, and made me feel less overwhelmed (for which I am deeply grateful). Highly recommended.” - Neely
