Aya's Reviews > A Living Remedy: A Memoir

Nicole Chung had successfully put her grief into words in this memoir, how her parents' death had affected her individually. Her helpless and guilt when she lived so far away and she couldn't do much to help financially.

"How do you learn to cherish your life when grief has made it unrecognizable? I am starting to feel that we do so not by trying to fill a void that can never be filled but by living as best as we can in this strange, yawning terrain our loved ones have left behind, exploring its jagged boundaries and learning to see it as something new."

The writing was great but sometimes I felt it was all over the place. Nicole Chung recounted the same issues near the end of the book. She had already made her point so I don't see why she needed to do it again.
