This book is a beautiful blend of poetry and prose, offered up in a somewhat uncomprehensible comprehensible way to explain the unexplainable; grief. It's beautifully written with an understanding of the absurdity that grief actually is, with the knowledge that grief lasts forever, and there are no words to really tell the depth of this book.

There are a few moments where there is a lot and I got a little lost in all of the absuridty in it, but, in reality, it's a book you just have to give way to and it hits if you've experienced grief yourself because there's a definite truth to every word the book utters.
