'The most life-affirming book ever written about death.' Sandi
Toksvig 'One of the most powerful and helpful books about grief
that you will ever read.' Anita Anand 'Grief is more than the price
of love. It is love. We must learn not just to live with it, but to
make it welcome.' Mother and daughter Anne Mayer Bird and Catherine
Mayer were widowed within 41 days of each other on the eve of the
pandemic, then locked down alone. Their profound isolation was
broken just once a week, when Catherine visited Anne to care for
her, at distance and in a mask. Together they found ways to
navigate their loss and the startling questions and challenges that
confronted them. In this memoir, Catherine also investigates the
possibility that her husband, renowned musician Andy Gill,
contracted Covid-19 when his band, Gang of Four, toured China in
late 2019. Her main focus, however, is not on death, but on life
and love. This is a captivating account of lives well lived, moving
and spiked with black humour. It is interwoven with letters Anne
wrote to her husband John to tell him of the astonishing and
heartrending events since his death and her small triumphs in
living independently. In sharing their insights and experiences,
Catherine and Anne aim to help those who have lost or will lose
people or who wish to know how best to support others in such
circumstances. They also celebrate love-for John and Andy and each
other. 'We are extraordinarily lucky, my mother and I. We have each
other and we have this room. 'In this living room, we are learning
to embrace the things we can't touch, each other and the lovely
dead.'
