When Love Hurts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798279318834)

If you are looking for a romantic love story, this is not your book.

But if you have ever loved through pain, illness, loss, or grief, you may find something here that speaks to you.

When Love Hurts is a deeply human narrative about the kinds of love that endure when everything falls apart: the love that accompanies mental illness, the love that survives death, the love that transforms in the face of fear and guilt, and the love that does not disappear even when the person we love is gone.

Through Ana's voice, this book explores the vertigo of diagnosis, the stigma surrounding mental illness, the weight of grief, the fragility of body and mind, and the slow, imperfect process of rebuilding a life. There are no formulas and no perfect endings-only truth: good days, fog days, silence, loss, and the small everyday gestures that quietly save us.

This book is born from chaos and tenderness. From the need to put pain into words in order to keep living.

Because sometimes, telling a story is a way of not giving up.
