Chin Up, Head Down


“Chin Up, Head Down” Helena Tym
This is a journey of a wife and mother through the first 18 months of life after her beloved middle son was killed by an IED in Afghanistan.  She takes us through her life is like dealing with the “glue” that has engulfed her, her family and friends, and then continues to engulf yet more families.
