The Year Our Grandmothers Died (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

In 2024, I lost my grandmother after three long years of her battling an unnamed illness. Unfortunately, in the same year, my partner lost his grandmother as well. As we faced death together, at times in different stages, I witnessed how losing the people that raised our parents, and us, affected every bridge within and between our families. This book honors all of the heaviness, distance, intimacy, devastation, questioning and humanness that we found and faced through the love required to experience perpetual grief.
