Have you read Katherine May’s “Wintering”?? I haven’t yet but the blurbs she shares resonate, and would say that all of this non-work you’re doing *is* work. I just guessed at your IG handle (feeling it’s a safe bet Bc there’s a pic of a bird) and sent you a recent post of hers that I found helpful.

Also, why fiction?? Have you considered non-fiction?? I think the real story of Ana in book form could be beautiful and helpful to so many parents.

Lastly, if you need another book on grief and haven’t read Jayson Greene’s “Once More We Saw Stars”, I couldn’t recommend more highly.
