I really enjoyed reading about this life event of Caitlin’s and how she tried to move on, and adjust to a new life, and work to now be someone without her mother. Once someone passes, there is this void and hole, in understanding how to move on, how to live life and the guilt that seeps in. Losing someone is never easy, even if they’ve been fighting the battle more months or years and hospice and medical personnel have told you the months, days, and hours that are left – it is not something anyone can prepare for. I would have never thought to have done this, and to get these different perspectives and point of views. I found it intriguing how Caitlin tried to hang onto the memories of her mother by talking to others who had a hand in helping her mother during and after her passing of cancer. This was a very eye opening novel on the different ways we can perceive death, and grief and loss.
