Description
Kelley Clink's life was forever changed when her younger brother died by suicide just two weeks before his college graduation. The news sent her into a spiral of guilt and grief, as she struggled to understand why he'd made the choice that ultimately took his own life. As Kelley navigated her grief, she began to uncover a painful truth: her own struggles with depression had preceded her brother's diagnosis by years. She had attempted suicide herself, leaving behind a trail that her brother would follow. This memoir is a heart-wrenching exploration of Kelley's journey through grief, her investigation into the role her own depression played in her brother's death, and her path toward acceptance, forgiveness, resilience, and love. Through her story, Kelley sheds light on the complex and often devastating impact of mental illness on families and loved ones. A Different Kind of Same is a powerful and poignant exploration of one family's experience with loss, grief, and the long road to healing.
