grief
I just spent half an hour at work reading this series of reflections about grief. It’s beautiful and generous and, in an odd way, fascinating. I have never lost someone in my immediate family or experienced gut-wrenching, long-term grief, though I have (ineptly, unhelpfully) watched friends and family do so. I’m grateful to writers who help me understand it a little better. The Year of Magical Thinking was like this, but it’s nice to read a perspective from a peer.
