Summary
Details

In 2018, Brenda Daly's life changed forever when her beloved son, Kevin, died suddenly and unexpectedly. With gut-wrenching honesty, she confronts the unimaginable pain of a mother's worst fear realized: the loss of a child.

Through her poignant prose, Daly lays bare the raw emotions of devastation, hopelessness, and the enduring ache of a mother's love. As she grapples with her own shattered fragments of existence, she challenges societal stigmas surrounding addiction, chronic pain, and substance-involved deaths. She courageously dismantles misconceptions, offering a reminder that every life is more than its final moments.

In the face of judgment and criticism, Brenda finds strength in vulnerability, seeking to shed light on the unacknowledged grief experienced by families like hers. With unwavering determination, she strives to honor Kevin's memory and advocate for understanding and compassion.

I Got Up is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is the possibility of finding light. Through Brenda's words, readers are invited on a journey of healing, acceptance, and the profound power of love in the face of unfathomable loss.
