3.5
The first half explains a feeling of grief like how you miss the presence of someone around you, a physical being. The second half gets you through with a person as a feeling that is uncertain, like you are really confused as to what you would do if they never left with the last portion signifying death for anyone as it comes. It's a non-linear story of feelings as the author warns. I was captivated reading the first half and I really loved it. However the characterization in the second half felt a little weak and sometimes obscure with the narration. Otherwise a fascinating read on grief.
