Regina Walker

Regina Walker delves right into nitty-gritty, the ugly, and the pain of lives lived this side of heaven.
Each member of the Miller family’s life is altered when the oldest son commits suicide. And We Go On is an emotional journey of the grief process for the three left behind. Everyone grieves differently and there are some threads of resentment woven in the tapestry of the Millers’ after.

Walker’s portrayal of this family is real and raw, and readers will quickly become invested in their lives. As this family fractured by suicide struggles to find their footing with each other, with God, and with their community, God sends others who have gone before to walk alongside them.

There is a some head hopping throughout this book, but it somehow works with the upheaval and new reality the Millers now live with.

We Go On is a genuine, well-written story about the individual struggles of a family grieving after the tragic loss of their son to suicide. The story begins with tragedy, but as time goes on, it becomes a beautiful testament to the real-life challenge of continuing life without the ones we love. The author did an amazing job of showing the range of emotions associated with grief and talking about how it’s possible to continue to live and even enjoy life after such a loss.
This topic is so relevant today, and I applaud the author for breaching a subject that is often kept in whispers. It is important to remember and reach out to people in the grief as this book reminds us. And by traveling the path of grief with Liz and Josh, I got a better idea of what life is like for those who wake up with the burden of grief every day.
I enjoyed this story to the very last page and shed several tears along the way. It is a story that will challenge you, but also a story that will inspire you--both to be grateful for every day we have with loved ones and to reach out to those who are grieving.
I was given a copy of this book by the author with no expectation of a positive review. All opinions are my own.… (more)
