Notes on Grief by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
5.0
"Grief is a cruel kind of education. You learn how ungentle mourning can be, how full of anger. You learn how glib condolences can feel. You learn how much grief is about language, the failure of language and the grasping for language. Why are my sides so sore and achy? It's from crying, I'm told. I did not know that we cry with our muscles.”
This is a collection of essays presented in such a gentle and thoughtful way where Chimamanda explores her stages of grief with the passing of her father while simultaneously eulogizing him. An intimate meditation. I feel like I know her. I feel like I knew him.
