Without any further delay, let me give you a brief summary of why I believe this book is worth your time and money, and why you should not only read it but also own a copy.
Name of the book: Just to Make You Smile
Name of the author: Sarah Caldwell
The genre of the book: Death & Grief
Upon completing the book, I have written a review to articulate my thoughts with some of my analysis of its contents. By sharing my impressions of it, I hope I will spark your curiosity and enthusiasm to delve further into death and grief. Below is the review I am excited to share with you now for your perusal.

“Sarah, a little girl, without choice, witnesses her father unluckily contract a deadly illness and going to leave her. The whole book talks a lot about ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), the worst kind of neurological disorder disease, letting us gain not a little knowledge about it when most of us won’t have much of it. May I avail myself of this opportunity to thank Sarah for doing a great job here for us? ALS is an extremely insidious disease that can attack anyone without mercy leaving his or her family and loved ones helpless and extremely hopeless.

Nevertheless, what Sarah in the book tells us is we can still do a lot only if there is love serves as a reason. In the book, we can witness how Sarah at the age of sixteen faces the brutal reality of admitting her father being diagnosed with ALS and dealing with her emotion changing by watching him get worse and worse day by day horribly and ruthlessly. It is impressive to see how Sarah goes from total denial to acceptance with tears and struggles, how the dark moments in her juvenile stage of life forcibly turned her into a mature person, and at last, how those dark moments awesomely turned into moments of growth as a result.

In the book, Sarah not only teaches us about the knowledge of ALS but also offers us not a little interesting preaching about life, and I would like to quote some here. Hump Day is Wednesday; three ‘sorries’ can only be enough seen as a real sorry; be careful what you wish for (I like it most); new normal (we always see it as abnormal); five stages of grief (everyone will go through); everything does not happen for a reason (sarcastic enough); and she has, many times, made a point of reciting her father’s maxim for life to alert herself and us, it is ‘be happy, be nice and keep trekking’. Besides these, Ice Bucket Challenge is mentioned as a reminder of the ALS disease in the book as well. Surely, we should never forget this sensational activity that once united the world.

Sarah, you may not know how much I want to tell you my dad died of another fatal illness in the same year as your dad did, and coincidentally, I have written him a memoir talking about how he confronts the illness with us accompanying him alongside. The difference is my dad could not in his life get as much love as your dad did, turning out to be my life regret that nothing can atone to. Sarah, you are amazing to have all along loved your dad and not everyone can do so as you! I would like to recommend the book to everyone!”

Confronting a loved one’s serious illness can be an excruciating experience. However, it can also be a moment of growth, one that transcends mere aging and strengthens our character.

Hello friends, I am from Hong Kong, living there and having decent education there. I am a mother of two sons and I work as a veteran counselor at a fully fledgling marital introduction company. I like to share with people some tougher experiences in the area of human relationships, marriage in particular. I find human nature is a mixed blessing. While we are bestowed upon enjoying the advantages of it, we can also flee the disadvantages of it. How? I will tell you in my books and blogs.
