  1. #JoanDidion's #TheYearOfMagicalThinking is such a gift for those who mourn, who understand so deeply what she means when she writes, "I look for resolution and find none." If #grief is a frequent companion, read (or reread) her #memoir and know you are not alone.

  2. "(Was there time to go back? Could we have a different ending on Pacific time?)"

    Reread what I think is one of, if not the, most powerful #memoirs about #grief. Here #Didion imagines the three hour time difference between #NYC and #LA as an opportunity to create a different story, an interval in which to intervene and deny the death that had happened.

  3. Grief comes "in waves, paroxysms, sudden apprehensions that weaken
    the knees.”

    #JoanDidion was born on this day in 1934. She gave us many gifts, including #TheYearOfMagicalThinking, which is one of the most beautiful, melancholy, and true representations of #grief I have ever read.

  5. There is just one person I’d like to discuss politics, books in reading, life, the universe and everything, and that’s a friend I lost in 2015. Grief comes in waves. #theyearofmagicalthinking
