Shirley Tripp Johnson’s Why Me? is a gut-wrenching and unfiltered look at grief that doesn’t try to dress up pain with easy platitudes. This book is raw, intimate, and brutally honest—diving deep into the devastation of loss in a way that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable. Johnson’s writing doesn’t shy away from the darkness, and yet, in that darkness, there’s a sense of shared experience that makes this book impossible to put down. It’s not about "moving on" or "finding closure"—it’s about survival in the aftermath, and that’s what makes it so powerful. I couldn’t stop reading because every page felt like a conversation with someone who truly gets it.

Buckle up, because Why Me? is not here to gently pat your back and tell you everything happens for a reason—it’s here to rip your heart out and make you feel the truth about grief. Shirley Tripp Johnson doesn’t sugarcoat a damn thing, and that’s exactly why this book is so gripping. If you’ve ever lost someone and felt like the world expects you to just "move on," this book will sit beside you in the dark and say, "Yeah, I see you." It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s a great read for anyone who's ever asked why me? 🌧💔
