In 2020, Iona Winter’s son Reuben died by suicide. Looking for solace and understanding from others’ stories, she found there were few available.

A Counter of Moons candidly shares Iona’s experiences, and her reflections challenge widespread ideas about how to deal with grief.

At times raw and confronting, at others introspective and tender, this book ultimately speaks about the coexistence of love and pain. It aims to start conversations about suicide bereavement, to give words to an often wordless experience.
