So enjoyed excerpts on p 10, 12
“No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep on swallowing…and no one ever told me about the laziness of grief…only as a dog-tired man wants an extra blanket on a cold night; he’d rather lie there, shivering than get up and find one.”
