I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

pick"And all of a sudden I understood. All of a sudden I got it. Why Rose was in the urn on the Mantlepiece. Why Dad found it too hard to sprinkle her into the sea. Why he gave her cake on birthdays, and why he fastened her seat belt, and why he hung a stocking by the urn on Christmas Eve. It was too hard to let go. He loved her too much to say goodbye."
Five stars. Amazing book.
Our sweet kitty Riley passed away last night, peacefully in his sleep after a brief illness. He was 17.
He loved birdwatching, sunbeams, lap time, licking water off of shower doors and soda cans, and helping me with sewing projects. We deeply love and already miss our little peanut, but are grateful he‘s no longer struggling.
so-soA Grief Observed is a compilation of longhand writings take from the notebook journals of C.S. Lewis chronicling his thoughts over the loss of his wife. I listened to this book on audio. And it's fairly short, which is probably a good thing, and nearly bailed before the introduction was over. To be honest if it had been any longer than what it was, I still would have bailed on it. The content is interesting, (cont in comments)...

Day 8 - Connection
I was undecided whether or not to share my connection with others or nature. This photo symbolises both. The bouquet I picked from my garden, for Mum's 20 year anniversary of her death.
Gone but never forgotten.

so-soGiven the title - the Madness of Grief - I was expecting this to be quite a deep look at the effects of grief, but it‘s mostly a memoir, deceiving what Coles did in the immediate aftermath of his partner‘s death, with the occasional reference to how certain events triggered a grief response. It‘s interesting, but not what I was expecting. I certainly didn‘t expect a former Communard to spend Christmas with Lord and Lady Spencer.
so-soOverall a so-so. David Tennant is a good narrator and I liked the idea, but the story moved slowly enough in audio that I borrowed the ebook from the library to finish it off.
