may death feels like slowly drifting off to sleep while listening to your mother talk. may it feel like to be carried to bed by your father when you fall asleep in the couch watching your favourite tv show

a heart-wrenching recount on her mother's death ): the details she put in her writing to depict her relationship with her mother made me easily feel her emotions. the last few pages, when she starts to show/describe her mourning, was so devastating, but it was written so beautifully.

lt is useless to try to integrate life and death and to behave rationally in the presence of something that is not rational: each must manage as well as he can in the tumult of his feelings.
