Pirstaleinen, runollinen, kieppuva ja tuskaa täynnä oleva äidin kirja liittyen oman pojan traagiseen kuolemaan. Hyvin aidon tuntuinen elämää järisyttävän kriisin kuvaus sinänsä, kirjoittajan ajatukset katkeilevat ja kiertävät kehää, nykypäivään sekoittuvat muistot menneistä. Lukijalle tämä toi haastetta sinänsä, kun yritti päästä tapahtuneisiin mukaan. Ja haastetta siksikin, että oma äitisydän meinaa jo luetusta toisen kokemuksesta särkyä. Tuntuu tarpeettomalta ruveta arvostelemaan saati pisteyttämään tällaista kirjaa.
annavrossem's review against another edition
Het voelt raar en verkeerd om een boek, waarin de schrijfster zou hartverscheurend schrijft over de dood van haar zoon, te beoordelen op een schaal van 1 tot 5 sterren.
'Always is done, when the ones you love die.
as long as they live, you are loved.
As long as you are loved, you exist.'

Roubaud writes:
To cling to death as such, to recognize it as a real hunger, has meant admitting that there is in language, in all of its constructions, something over which I have no control.

"Nothing penetrates, nothing leaves an impression on me, nothing interests me."
They say no grief compares to a grieving parent. That no words can fully explain this kind of unending pain. And it's true. We can never understand. However, we get to see a fragment of what it's like through this memoir book.
We are looking through the eyes of a mother who lost her child to death. Naja Marie Aidt walks you through her thought process as she tries to explain the unimaginable topics of death, grief as well as recovery and mourning.
Whether you have or have not experienced the loss of a loved one, you can't help but sympathise with Naja. You can't help but feel for her.
The text was somewhat hard to read and understand but once you pick up the momentum, you realise how beautifully the book has been written.
