“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.”
In The Year of Magical Thinking, Joan Didion explores the feelings of grief and loss as she reflects on the sudden death of her husband, John Gregory Dunne, and the critical illness of their only daughter, Quintana Roo Dunne. The narrative carries a raw honesty that invites readers to navigate the emotional landscape of mourning.
