Good read

The Netflix documentary 'The Center Will Not Hold' inspired me to read 'The Year of Magical Thinking'. Such good medicine for a grieving heart. I'd bottled up much of that grief after having lost two very special loved ones to cancer and the dissolution of my marriage all within a period of two years. The documentary cracked my heart open again

The Year of Magical Thinking

This book was amazing in how deep it goes into a very difficult chain of events and grief itself. It was also dulling to a degree, the repetition of grief, but the book came alive again when the daughter returned to crisis.
