Not an easy read, by any means, but full of observations about death and grief with which I identified. "When someone you love dies, you pay for the sin of outliving her with a thousand piercing regrets. Her death brings to light her unique quality, she grows as vast as the world that her absence annihilates for her and whose whole existence was caused by her being there... But since you never do all you might for anyone, not even within the arguable limits that you have set yourself, you have plenty of room left for self-reproach."
