"Denying the truth just prolongs the pain."

loved the art of this graphic novel. it also tells a painful story about dealing with grief and how one of the ways to cope with it is to live with the delusion that the reality did not happen. also, no matter how many times and how many people try to help you with it, the only way is truly thru yourself.
