What People Are Saying

Reviews and authentic perspectives from readers of My Teacher, My Son.

“It seems impossible that a book about unimaginable grief could offer so much hope, yet that is the gift of My Teacher, My Son. With breathtaking honesty, Nick Shaw shows how love, joy, and continued connection co-exist with loss, change, and challenge. The courage of Nick’s self-reflection empowers each of us to find a way forward. A truly heart-empowering read.”

Kelly McGonigal, PhD
Research Psychologist, Stanford University Lecturer, and Author of The Joy of Movement: How Exercise Helps Us Find Happiness, Hope, Connection, and Courage

“With gripping intensity, Nick Shaw shares the terror of losing his nine-year-old son in an accident on a mountain after sharing a much-anticipated summit ski. Nick is determined to investigate his grief in a way that maintains a loving connection to his son and serves as an example to readers of his powerful memoir, My Teacher, My Son. Fueled by the knowledge that things can change in a moment, he calls on us to pause and be with the complex terrain of grief; he inspires us to move into the strength that comes from exploring our vulnerability so we may ultimately become more present in our lives. While healing is not linear and is deeply personal, Nick courageously shares his journey so we all feel less alone with unimaginable loss.”

“This heart-piercing book is a tragic story, authentically and beautifully told.

It is a short read but an intensely impactful story that bravely reminds every one of us to learn from loss, deal with our demons, make life matter and focus on love above all else.”

Suki Gill

“How is it possible to simultaneously hate that this is a true story and love that Nick Shaw wrote it for us? Powerful, gut-wrenching, inspired, and optimistic.

Sadly, as a person present on that day I knew too well the outcome of events. But what I wasn’t prepared for was encountering the depth of paternal and familial love that came later. Nick taught me about the depth of human resilience, and how much we can learn and grow even from an unimaginable event."

“The death of a child is an unimaginable tragedy. Nick Shaw bares his soul in a powerful, poignant, courageous, heartbreaking, and remarkably heart forward way.
