Grief is personally something I haven’t had to experience to a detrimental extent. Reading this book feels like a sort of prepping for the surreal & scary realities of death. I appreciate Adichie honest writing that highlighted the true horror in having to accept the terrible truth of a loved one dying.
I put this book on my tbr when my grandma passed always. Now i finished it after my grandpa is gone as well. It is a book about notes on griefs, but also a book which shows me that i am not alone. Someone is also feeling what I am feeling. I particularly like this sentence from the book "grief was the celebration of love. Those who could feel real grief were lucky to have loved"
I am so grateful for having been loved by my grandparents, who will also live in my heart, as i carry on with my life.

Absolutamente increíble. He llorado mientras lo leía, me he sentido reflejada en muchas ocasiones. Pero sobretodo es desgarrador sentir como esas palabras vienen desde el más profundo dolor de un corazón. Esta autora siempre me hará pensar, sentir y ver la vida de una manera distinta.

incredibly raw and painful to read. i just know that this is close to how i will feel when my time with my father ends. i dread every thought of losing him, or my mother. Grief is not something I am unaware of, unfortunately, but thinking that one day I will not be able to call them just so they can join me on my small walk back home or my trip to the store is unbearable.
i should revisit this book once the right time comes. for now, i can simply read in sadness.
