Denna veckan gästas vi av Marcus Kowal, som precis släppt boken ”Liam, en stund på jorden”. För lite mer än 1,5 år sedan var Marcus med om den största mardrömmen en kan utsättas för som förälder. Hans frus syster tog Liam ut på en promenad och några minuter senare blev Liam påkörd av en rattfyllerist. Liam dog inte på plats men dödförklarades senare på sjukhuset. Hur lyckas en gå vidare efter en sån tragedi? Hur lyckas en vända den enorma sorgen till en styrka att vilja förändra? Sorg kan vara så starkt och kännas så otroligt mycket. Ibland mer än fysisk smärta. Men vi tror ju precis som med allt annat att så länge en pratar om det så känns det, om än bara för någon liten sekund, lite bättre. Tack Marcus för att du ville gästa och berätta.
