About this audiobook
The New York Times bestselling author of The In-Between presents a vulnerable, moving memoir about the unraveling of her marriage and her evolving journey to find beauty in life's endings and beginnings.
“Hadley Vlahos knows something most of us spend our lives trying not to learn: There are things we cannot save by loving them harder. Deeply comforting, deeply confronting, and completely unforgettable!”—Lara Love Hardin, author of The Many Lives of Mama Love
As a hospice nurse, Hadley Vlahos helps people navigate grief and major life transitions. After the success of her first book, The In-Between, Vlahos’s professional career was on the rise, and from the outside, everything looked picture-perfect. But behind the scenes, her personal life was falling apart, and it was now her turn to confront the loss and upheaval that she spent her days counseling her patients through.
In How to Let Go, Vlahos recounts her journey of rebuilding her life and coming into her own after her fairytale marriage turned out to be not what it seemed. With grace and vulnerability, Vlahos reveals what it took to walk away from her relationship and the myriad ways in which her patients inspired her to put herself back together. She draws lessons from the challenges people encounter with a loved one in hospice, like taking advantage of the time you have left while simultaneously dealing with anticipatory grief, and how—or even whether—to say goodbye to an estranged parent. Along the way, she comes to see that letting go is not a failure but an act of profound courage.
Like her beloved first memoir, How to Let Go is a beautiful reminder that every moment—even a difficult and complicated one—is an opportunity: Until we take our final breath, we always have the ability to connect, to grow, and to begin again.
