I have not finished this book yet but what I have read so far has made me laugh, cry and feel relieved that I am not the only one who has experienced this kind of grief when I had to say goodbye to my boy Montana.

I love the book. It is the raw truth about the author Chuck Hawley and his journey. It was an emotional story and I hope it helps many people who are going through something like Chuck Hawley has been through. I am so glad that Chuck Hawley didn’t jump on that train because he wouldn’t be here to share his story if he did. I hope his story helps other people from jumping on that train as well.

Heart breaking, Heartfelt, and very relatable!

Chuck’s is such an amazing story. Real person, real life, real feelings. I have never been where he has-but I felt every ‘feel’. I cried almost from the beginning & through to the end. Chuck writes from his heart and the reader can feel that. This book should be read by psychology & social working students everywhere & have a place in their offices. Keep writing, Chuck. You’re not only helping yourself, you’re helping so many others. Sticky is right there on your shoulder & we are all so proud of - & thankful for -you ❤️🐾

Only halfway through the book, but it's helping me put things in perspective of what's important.

The graphics are beautiful and the tee is very soft.

the instant ebook was a hit! i began reading that day. good book, raw, as advertised. going through depression put into words everyone can understand. that feeling of being stuck with no way out but the train put into words everyone can understand. and the happy ending (not getting on that train) was real, what life is...put into words everyone can understand. thank you

I've been buying your books since you started. My grands love them. This one is for me of course a is in my living room. That stupid cat is missed by all a my heart dies break for you. You see 2023 I lost all 3 of mine and my wittles( A chihuahua) to a house fire. I wouldn't have cared if the whole house went but to have my babes safe...I wake up crying thinking of what they went through. Everyone keeps telling I need to stop and remember the love I gave but my babes...I miss them so. Yes 2 feral cats had been hanging around the house while it was being built. Sisters. I did of course brought them in. I love them w all my heart. I do I really do but I know how it feels it's a hole that can't be filled but you try you really do. My mom who passed away 5yrs ago I showed her your story. She is of course a animal lover to just loved you for your kindness. I said he reminds me of u mom. She see a animal in distress she wouldn't sit by. Much positive energy your way.

Love this...Thanking for writing it and sharing your life with all of us.

Thank-you Chuck for this amazingly candid book. It has helped me personally to deal with several recent losses. 💕

I could not wait to get this book. When it arrived it was personalized to me, with several notes from Chuck. I read the book in 2 settings, and was so sad to fully realize the depth of pain Chuck was in. I lost my soul dog in March of 2020, when the pandemic was just kicking off. My husband was in Wyoming taking care of our grandson, when our Dachsund Lilly very unexpectedly passed away. I was home by myself, and her loss was almost more than I could endure. The sounds that came out of me when the vet told me she had died, and then sharing that information with my husband (1600 miles away) was almost too much to bear. The difference between Chuck and I, was that my loss was private, and his was very public. I had followed.him and Sticky since the day he rescued him from that busy highway. All I can say, is that I understand why he even considered getting on that train. The feeling of loss is unexplainable. Although people like me were encouraging him to soldier on, and he had a wonderful family supporting him, the feeling of absolute overwhelming sadness is hard to overcome. I am so happy and proud of Chuck for realizing he needed help, and understanding getting on that train was not the answer.

Chuck has a gift that needs to be shared with the world, and I am so proud of him for continuing to push forward. The world would have been much darker if he had gotten on that train. This isn't just a lesson for those who have experienced loss, but for anyone who is feeling a sense of hopelessness.

Thank you Chuck for simply being you. An open, honest and flawed human being, just trying their absolute best. You have made a difference in the lives of so many. Also, thanks to Sticky for your resilience and being the Stupid Cat that brought Chuck Hawley into our lives.

Absolutely love the book and tshirt will be buying more

You've been where I've been. Thank you brother.

This book came to me at one of my lowest moments. I went to my room to be alone with my dogs to read it. The sun was shining in from the window making a perfect setting. I read the book all the way through. The book brought me out of the dark hole I was in. I’ve been a follower of Chuck from day one. If he can do this so can I. It’s a must read book. Thank you Chuck and beloved Sticky (RIP) buddy.
