oh man that must be so tough. I remember when my grandma passed away unexpectedly at 50 and my mom completely lost it at the funeral. We had a hindu funeral and I remember going to the family house and seeing everyone dressed in white and then my grandma's body in the center of it all. She wasn't there for 2 months but I understand the need to take time to say goodbye. Our family had to leave to america like the next day and I think it really messed my mom up that she didn't have time to say bye fully.

I think it's also why our family is obsessed with taking so many photos of loved ones and having keepsakes because we lost all of it when we left. Riley is honestly so ridiculously strong for dealing with all of that.

Oh man, this summary alone makes me cry. I'd be a sobbing mess reading that chapter.
It's so sad how much responsibility Riley always had and how much she's been through.
I can't even fathom how hard it must be to lose your brother and mother.

oh god, this chapter is heartbreaking, I feel so sorry for Riley and Lisa too of course, but it seems Riley held and still holds a lot of responsibilities that shouldn’t be hers as a daughter

Listening to Riley on the audiobook of this chapter was crushing.
