How to Make Friends with the Dark by Kathleen Glasgow
5.0
From the author's note:
"How to Make Friends with the Dark is, above all, a book about grief. This is a book about learning how to go on, about finding your way in the dark. [...] What there is, is a lot of stumbling around in the dark, looking for a warm hand to hold on to."
This book was a challenge for me to finish, particularly because the first half vividly captures every emotion that unfolds when experiencing loss and the hollow yet numbness your body goes through. I'm glad I pushed myself to keep reading. There's no manual for coping with grief, but this book is shaped in trying to make sense of it all.
