A young girl gets murdered by a serial killer right in the beginning and the rest of the book is about her watching from "above" as her family deals with their grief. The poignancy was displayed in such a graceful way that somehow I was able to get through the book without (as I expected) feeling despondent.asplenianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613210263413208128.post-56921083099797699162012-09-17T14:40:10.401-04:002012-09-17T14:40:10.401-04:00That's beautiful.

It is a loss to be grieved. However, I do like the idea that a loved one can be gone but only from sight -- for me, this means living on in my heart and memories and myriad countless other ways.asplenianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613210263413208128.post-72000974878799259432012-09-17T10:31:03.119-04:002012-09-17T10:31:03.119-04:00Those words actually give me comfort.
