Delaney’s memoir is raw, honest, and speaks to what is often left unsaid about death — particularly the death of a child
I can’t imagine what you’re going through.
“It gave me words,” says mother Adrienne Finnegan, whose son Kian died at age 3 in September, of Rob Delaney’s memoir.Finnegan describes Delaney’s analogy of now having a black band in his personal rainbow of experiences as being exactly how she wants friends and family to understand her new worldview. “It’s like, ‘Gosh, I can explain it for the first time.’ ”
“A lot of our own experiences were really grotesque,” says Finnegan. “Treatment can be brutal and painful.” Finnegan points to the section of the book where Delaney describes his experience with his son’s tracheostomy. He had to frequently change a tracheostomy tube, restraining Henry in the process, which often led to bleeding during the procedure. “With Henry, I had in fact seen blood issue forth from a bullet-shaped hole in the neck of someone I loved very much,” writes Delaney.
