For The Love of Jeremy— A Memoir of a Family Affliction: Mental Illness and Addiction is a memoir inspired by the loss of my son. The story is about my family' s experience with mental illness and how it intersects with suicide and substance use disorder. As Bipolar Disorder affects one member in each of three generations, join me in searching for light through the darkness in this journey. Sometimes we need to find the gifts of grief if we are going to survive it.
