Stunning writing. Interesting how everyone’s accounts of grief are so different and yet carry distinct similarities; namely the breaking of language by pain (see Elaine Scarry).

It’s rather ironic that my hold on Adichies book commemorating the grief of losing her father came in the day before I bury my own grandad… I feel like this was a definite case of divine timing. In all seriousness I could genuinely listen to Adichie’s words and voice forever, and this was such a lovely exploration of human emotion and experience especially during the covid 19 pandemic when everything- even grief- became harder

Is this what shock means, that the air turns to glue?

My first read by this author because I felt it most relevant to my current moment and so very appreciated. Certain lines will really stick with me.

A raw and relatable account of grief and the loss of a loved one. Captures the emotions we often find difficult to explain in the face of grief.

Everyone’s grief experience is different, but dang she does know what it’s like to be a half orphan and so do I. Shoutout to her
