The sad end of LM Montgomery's life. She's vague about several things, especially regarding her son Chester, who was cheating on his wife and doing all kinds of terrible things, so you really have to read Lucy Maud Montgomery: The Gift of Wings to figure out what she was talking about.

What a sad end to an amazing woman's life. I've read all of LMM's journals now and I actually struggled through this one at times. She suffered such horrible depression and mental anguish in the last years of her life that it was hard to read her entries. But the look at this creative, intelligent woman's life during the Great Depression and through the start of WWII was fascinating. I am not surprised about the recent revelation that she took her own life, especially after reading her final journal, but it is very sad.

This was obviously an incredibly hard read. The end was really emotional and left me feeling the loss of Maud as if it happened yesterday. I will now be reading The Gift of Wings by Mary Rubio to understand more of the context which was missing. Ugh I don't know what else to write as it feels futile to say it hurts.
