I enjoyed listening to this. I’m sorry for the ending but thought it was well performed

I loved how relatable the telling of this family story and in part tragedy was and how I could relate to other experiences and memories in my own beautifuly flawed family and my understanding of memories and how they affect each of us so differently even when experiencing them in the same home. Gave me a lot to think about and was just told very simply, honestly and beautifully. Although somewhat melancholy, it finished and I didnt feel sad but more hopeful and interested in how I could consider another perspective and sometimes possibly see the world through a not better but just different lens. I really loved how this story was told and really hope this author considers telling more soon.

Really wonderful perspective & thought provoking story…

Having personal experience with pretty much every aspect and angle of the events, this hit home.
Will keep this in the treasure box.

Puzzle eloquently pieced together.

There’s nothing I dislike here. Incredibly poignant. We’ve had 4 suicides in our extended family. Three of those in young people (under 25). One of them my father’s brother in his 50s. Devastating no matter what age.
But the story here is not about the suicide but about the life story struggling to emerge through the memories of those left behind.

How we remember vs how we are remembered
