Loss Adjustment readers are the best. You have been incredibly supportive over a difficult year of getting the book out in the world and accepting that it has its own life, independent of me.

“All these influences and factors on their own, are manageable, but when they come in an onslaught, they disturb the equilibrium of a household, shutting out the light, and letting the darkness in.”

“Amid this constant physical presence of fellow human beings, we gaze inward, trying to absorb what has happened with our lives and why the person we love the most is not here.”

“Aswepulluptothe industrial facility that houses the newspaper’s operations, I feel immense dread. It is because my life is utterly changed, and yet returning to work symbolises picking up the reins of continuity. It trivialises Victoria’s death. How can resuming work and paying the bills be more important than mourning the loss of one’s own child? Such grief will take a lifetime. If I get out of the car and go in through the entrance, it means suppressing that grief. It means the farce begins of having people think that you accept she is dead. And it is the beginning of ‘After’.”

“I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking. Recording the man shaving at the window opposite and the woman in the kimono washing her hair. Some day, all this will have to be developed, carefully printed, fixed.”

When it all turns to custard, there is always a good book. (Me, today).
