This made me cry. Such a beautiful and honest reflection on partner death, dying and grief
I've never read a book so visceral and heartbreaking while simultaneously so life-affirming and full of love. This is a collection of comics the author made the two years following the death of her partner. It does much more than nearly all the other comics I've read and does it so differently, it almost doesn't feel like a comic. But, of course, it is. The formal experimentation and abstract art pair perfectly with Leavitt's brutally honest words
"Honestly I kind of thought you'd be back. Probably after a year. If I could just keep it together and the house was clean and the dog alive."
The illogical way your brain works when you're grieving ?
"After her [partner of 22 years]'s death, I continued living, which surprised me." ?
