The first thing I thought of about the crow is death. Probably more like a proof  that someone is dead in their house. And then I also think about ghost. The crow will take form of the memories, the places, the words, and everything that you grieve. Some are confusing, some are beautiful, but everything is sad. And heavy. But the crow will be gone one day. Because even if someone was dead in that house of a family, life goes on. The grief will be there, forever, but it is simply a part of their life. Not ghost nor death. It is life.
