** spoiler alert ** 
 This book was heartbreaking, because the situation is so painful. It made mee wonder what my decision would have been if I was in the main character's shoes. Die with your family, or go on living with your heart full of pain and regret? I was glad with her final choice, because she saw that, even though there would be a lot to deal with, she could go on. I love this book because of the real emotion in it.
