I promise it won't always hurt like this; Things in Nature merely grow

 I promise it won't always hurt like this - Clare Mackintosh says it all. Her words resonate, her grief is familiar even if her anger is not, and her initial inability to cope, followed by her learning to grow into her grief could easily be my story. A very good book, one that I hope to go back to someday soon. 



Things in Nature merely grow -  Yiyun Li
This book on grief is by a mother who lost two sons, in an identical manner a few years apart. It is a book about radical acceptance, and about an abyss that is very familiar to me.
