When I Press Stop:

A Memoir of Loss

A poetry memoir about grief, caregiving, and the unexpected resilience that arrives when you have no other choice. Born from the sudden loss of her husband to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), Rosemary Vaswani's debut collection unfolds like a novel in verse — raw, honest, and quietly hopeful.
