PRESS PLAY: Channeling Joy, and Finding Color After Loss Through Static and Rainbows

A Memoir by Yaminah Cummings-Salley
 
What happens when life changes in an instant, but somehow, the world keeps moving?
 
Press Play is a deeply personal memoir about love, loss, grief, faith, and the difficult choice to keep living when someone you love is no longer here to experience life with you.
 
After losing her mother, best friend, and greatest source of love, Yaminah Cummings-Salley found herself navigating a version of life she never imagined. Through the static of grief, the memories that replay without warning, the milestones that suddenly feel different, and the moments when simply moving forward feels impossible, she begins learning what it means to press play again.
 
This book does not offer a perfect roadmap for grief. Instead, it offers something more personal: a mirror.
 
While your story may look completely different from hers, Press Play is an invitation to see pieces of yourself within these pages, to laugh, cry, remember, feel, and discover that joy and grief can exist in the same story.
 
It is a reminder that finding color again does not mean forgetting the person you lost.
 
It means carrying their love with you as you choose, one day at a time, to keep pressing play.
