The audiobook version felt like a good way to read this book, the narrator seems to have fun with the crow voice. I didn’t get out of it quite what I was hoping but still had some useful bits about grief.

Moving on, as a concept, is for stupid people, because any sensible person knows grief is a long-term project. I refuse to rush. The pain that is thrust upon us let no man slow or speed or fix.
