Brilliant . This story explored grief in a nuanced way. We often think about grief as the ones that physically transition from this earth. Grief can encompass this but it also can encompass the loss we feel from rebirth, the loss of innocence, the loss of friendships, and the loss of closeness to family. The three short stories that make up this work are beautiful. They are interconnected yet separate and I found myself loving each character for different reasons. It was easy to feel connected to each character.

I’m excited to see what else this author pens.
