Books by Allison
She was only 27 years old when her father died suddenly of a heart attack.
In Good Night and Good Luck: A Memoir Allison Kendall finds herself looking at life and seeing a divide — the time before her father’s death and the time after. It was the vast emptiness of the time after that scared her. Holidays would no longer be the same, her wedding would no longer feature their dance together, and every major life event she had yet to experience would be void of his support. Allison brings you in on her journey through the first year after her father’s death and all of the ups and downs that went with it.
Within these pages you will discover that:
We all grieve differently, but there are similarities within us all.
None of us are alone in this experience.
Feeling of connection to a complete stranger and walking with her on her journey with grief.
Join her, and bear witness while she grieves publicly for the first time. You are not alone, none of us are.
Praise for Good Night and Good Luck:
“I like to this of this book as a roadmap for ways to deal with grieving the loss of someone you love. While Allison shares her own unique journey through the loss of her father, she also gives us permission, in a way, to find our own journey. Loss affects us in so many ways, and through Allison’s book, I’ve come to learn that it’s okay not to be okay when it happens. I’ve learned that the more we can open ourselves up to feeling the feels, the more likely we are to process the grief and begin to heal. So thank you, Allison, for showing us the grace and compassion that’s needed when we lose someone we love.”
