520	1		_aWhat does it mean to mourn today, in a culture that has largely set aside the rituals that acknowledge grief? In the days after her mother died of cancer at the age of 55, Meghan O’Rourke began to create a record of her life as a mourner, trying to capture the paradox of grief—its monumental agony and microscopic intimacies—an endeavor that ultimately bloomed into a profound look at how caring for her mother during her illness changed and strengthened their bond. O’Rourke’s story is one of a life gone off the rails, of how losing her mother—and separating from her husband—left her fundamentally altered. But it is also one of resilience, as she watches her family persevere even in the face of immeasurable loss. (http://www.penguin.com/read/book-clubs/the-long-goodbye/9781594485664)
