ABOUT THE BOOK

Afterwards is a book about the things that come after trauma. It encompasses the different kinds of grief– primarily the loss of a friend to suicide, but also the loss of an important relationship, and dealing with some loss related to family. There are frank discussions of mental illness and the spectrum of emotions that come with moving forward.

PRAISE FOR REAGAN

“In this stunning and unflinchingly reflective collection, Myers teaches us what it means to grieve and shows us, with startling precision, the light of what it means to survive it.”

— Dr. Stacey Waite, author of Butch Geography
