A quick flip-through of Henry Blumberg's "Sean Left Quietly: A Father’s Memoir." This book is the highly touching recount of life experienced through loss. Henry's son Sean committed suicide at the age of 35, leaving him and his family spinning in unfamiliar territory.
Many reminiscences, including joyous and unforgettable moments, later enabled us to cope with the anguish of his death. Memories were a central underpinning of support at the most difficult times. Guided by his son’s questions and curiosity the memoir spans three continents. It reflects his keen interest in their memorable family visit to South Africa, his birthplace, the brutality of apartheid that resulted in their immigration to Canada and the family’s challenges that ensued. The memoir also explores the intergenerational trauma of Henry's father whose close family perished in Latvia during the Holocaust.
