A Different Kind of Same: A Memoir

Two weeks before his college graduation, Kelley Clinkâ€™s younger brother Matt died by suicide. Though heâ€™d been diagnosed with bipolar disorder as a teenager and had attempted suicide once before, the news came as a shockâ€”and it sent Kelley into a spiral of guilt and grief.

After Mattâ€™s death, a chasm opened between the brother Kelley had known and the brother sheâ€™d buried. She kept telling herself she couldnâ€™t understand why heâ€™d done itâ€”but the truth was, she could. Several years before heâ€™d been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, sheâ€™d been diagnosed with depression. Several years before he first attempted suicide by overdose, she had attempted suicide by overdose. Sheâ€™d blazed the trail heâ€™d followed. If he couldnâ€™t make it, what hope was there for her?

A Different Kind of Same traces Kelleyâ€™s journey through grief, her investigation into the role her own depression played in her brotherâ€™s death, and, ultimately, her path toward acceptance, forgiveness, resilience, and love.
