It's nice to read a book that clearly write out what is going through your head in the moment. Its nice to feel seen and be venerable in that way.

Death of father during covid. Reflections on grieving process,
navigating with family and young daughter. How to move on. Amazing life - university professor emeritus, led land lawsuit against billionaire, kidnapped for random by driver and accomplices, managing life across US/Nigeria.

the bigger pains of grief are less to do with its broader implications and more to do with the smaller parts of having known and loved; with the pieces of themselves that your loved ones leave you, so intrinsic to the make of your soul that you only realize they’re not entirely yours until those who writ them there are finally gone.
“I remembered my father coaching me before I took my GCE exam and how he said, as I stalled in solving a long equation, ‘Yes, you’re getting there. Don’t doubt yourself. Don’t stop.’ Is that why I believe now in always trying?”

I had/have so much anxiety for the grief I will feel when my loved ones die but it almost felt reassuring to read that it’s definitely going to be worse than I expect, if that makes sense???
