When Lisa traveled home to visit her parents in December 2011, she never expected an ordinary three-day weekend to turn into an extraordinary 14-day observance of her motherâs life â and ultimately â death. 14 Days is a story of parental loss, and how to lovingly, bravely and gracefully let go of a hand youâve been holding your entire life. From a childâs first breath to a motherâs last, this memoir shows how closing that circle can be a celebration of this unbreakable bond.
