Two Floors Above Grief: A Memoir of Two Families in the Unique Place We Called Home

Description Two Floors Above Grief: A Memoir of Two Families in the Unique Place We Called Home by Kevin M O’Connor. Set in Elgin, Illinois from the 1920s to the 1980s, this book has fascinating details and anecdotes about life as a funeral home child. Stories are brought to life through a collection of letters written by O’Connor and family members who lived and worked together at the O’Connor Funeral Home. Blending the twenty-four-hour business of death and its constantly ringing phone with the joy experienced by his families through music, pets, backyard basketball games, co-parenting, faith, and celebrations, O’Connor offers a reflective love letter to the affirmation of family love and embracing life.
