humbertoca's review against another edition
4.0
Si bien este es una reflexión sobre su propio duelo, se convierte en un doloroso y muy compartido punto de encuentro, puesto que muy de cerca o a la distancia la mayoría de nosotros vivió esta etapa con noticias tan lamentables como la perdida de alguien a causa de COVID.
Escrito desde un rincón muy personal y (pareciera) con una intención de depuración mayor, se convierte en la voz de muchos de nosotros por gritar la pérdida de alguien a quien está etapa tan complicada nos arrebató.

Notes on Grief
by
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
The world consists of 2 types of souls: those who have mourned the loss of another soul so utterly imbedded in their own, and those who have not (yet).
Once you have experience this kind of loss. You are forever changed and so is your view on the world.
If you haven't read this study of grief yet, you definitely should. Whether you fall in the first or the second category will greatly influence how you read it.
I'm reading it from a point of lived experience, of recognition of who I was 17 years ago, and who I have become since. I wish I had read this before or during my loss, it might have helped me feel less isolated... but then again it might not. Grief is a human phenomena of exquisite beauty and immense value.
Post Script (on completion):
I know this. It knows me. We are familiar with each other.

I listen to this on audiobook. It was phenomenal! Such a wonderful author! This book truly captures a sense of what it is like to experience profound loss.
