Memoirs of loss - Shimmer

Just finished Shimmer. I seem to be reading a lot of books about grief. Memoirs, all beautifully written. The year of magical Thinking, The Waiting Room, Through a Glass Darkly and now Shimmer. I feel I need to make sense of my own losses and feelings of powerlessness and grief. The slow decline of my father and the earlier loss of my much loved mother. There is something about Caroline Jones and her words and fear - siting that feeling of 'living beside an abotoir'. It is that feeling of watching your parents die - there is that wanting to look away, but being unable to.
