I didn't get it instantly, but oh boy when I did I REALLY recognised Crow. The bizarre stories you live inside to get through grief. The boys' parts in particular really got me. "The perplexing slow-release of sadness for ever and ever and ever" and "I felt utterly, totally yanked apart by how much I loved these children" - oof. Grief never leaves.
