In the wake of a death, writing becomes the means of grieving. Its chained fragments make a painful but determined crossing from darkness into light, towards 'the garden that absence allows', as pain and loss are transformed into a 'course of silence': an apprenticeship in living with death, and in finding again the bond between two people.
