Everybody wants to die naturally, you know.

But not so soon. Not so soon.

Memorial Days: A Memoir | Geraldine Brooks

People die. On the descent to JFK airport one day after Tony‘s death, I stared from my airplane window at the closed-pressed houses of the Queens borough: I have this in common with every single one of all the thousands of people down there, living their varied, vivid lives. We might have not one other single thing in common, but we‘ve got this. We will all die. We will all grieve.

This month‘s #bookclub pick led to a lively discussion! Revolving around grief, this details the brief but devoted marriage between Josh & Lauren. Told in his perspective moving forward from her funeral & hers moving back to the start of their relationship, this structure frustrated me at times because I wanted a stronger foundation for their relationship to share in the grief. But I loved the concept of the letters & tasks— an engaging listen!

I expected this book to be sad, and it was, but it was also honest and open and cathartic, both for the author and for the reader. Geraldine Brooks generously shares her experience of the loss of her husband and her delayed period and method of mourning. It‘s an inevitability that we will all experience in our own unique ways. This is a lovely book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Brooks‘ response to her husband‘s unexpected, untimely death is poignant, raw, searing,lamentable,heartrending. #storygraph #nonfiction

It‘s Wednesday but…
1)
quiet silence in bed; rest
Sit on porch & listen to birds‘ song
Walk, in nature, in my community with other walkers
Face in sun
Garden
Family; sisters
Breezes

2) poetry, cozy mysteries, memoirs like Geraldine Brooks‘ Memorial Days
