Writings on grief

My list of writings on grief - this is ongoing. (Sorry the fonts are all over the place).

Caroline Jones - Through a Glass Darkly
Joan Didion -“Grief is different. Grief has no distance. Grief comes in waves, paroxysms, sudden apprehensions that weaken the knees and blind the eyes and obliterate the dailiness of life.”

The Year of Magical Thinking, Blue Nights.

 Julian Barnes - Levels of Life
Tracy Grimshaw - April Woman's Weekly

"Keepers of private notebooks are a different breed altogether, lonely and resistant rearrangers of things, anxious malcontents, children afflicted apparently at birth with some presentiment of loss.

Why did I write it down? In order to remember, of course, but exactly what was it I wanted to remember? How much of it actually happened? Did any of it?"

-Joan Didion, in the essay “On Keeping a Notebook” published in Slouching Toward Bethlehem.

Just Kids - Patti Smith

Wild - Cheryl Strayed

This Party's Got to Stop - Rupert Thomson
