Someone is missing. And the world goes on as though it had the right to. This book does not want to explain grief. It does not sort it into stages, does not measure it, does not try to speed it up. It contradicts the quiet expectation that pain ought to grow softer after a reasonable interval. In thirty chapters it speaks of what is rarely spoken about: the first morning without him, without her. The exhaustion no one sees.
The silence of others, when nobody asks anymore. The shame of the first laugh. The right to grieve slowly. And the question that stays at the end: What remains when someone is gone?A book for the quiet duration of missing someone. It gives no answers that do not exist. It stays beside you without pushing.
