4 Books To Help You Cope With Grief & Loss With Sharin Books on Toast 2021-06-04 | FAM, we get it. These are some tough days, the toughest that we have ever lived through and are collectively experiencing. The COVID-19 pandemic is the most serious public health emergency the world has seen in the last 100 years. Some of us are feeling despair, anger, frustration, sadness, and some of us are just numb. Either way, we have all lost greatly and are struggling to cope with our grief. In this video, Sharin talks about the 4 books that are helping her grieve. The process will remain WIP, but she, like all us perhaps, can only hope to be whole again. See below for quotes and books:List of Books:Dark Demon by Christine FeehanKindle: amzn.to/3vR3l8mThe Long Goodbye by Meghan O RourkeAudible: amzn.to/3fMfkhYThe Year of Magical Thinking by Joan DidionKindle: amzn.to/3ifsPrUNorwegian Wood by Haruki MurakamiPaperback: amzn.to/3chJBTAKindle: amzn.to/3chnwER100 Selected Poems by Emily DickinsonHardcover: amzn.to/3ilv7G3Kindle: amzn.to/2SUzlKi ____________________________**________________________________________Quotes from The Long Goodbye by Meghan O Rourke:“The people we most love do become a physical part of us, ingrained in our synapses, in the pathways where memories are created.”“Nothing prepared me for the loss of my mother. Even knowing that she would die did not prepare me. A mother, after all, is your entry into the world. She is the shell in which you divide and become a life. Waking up in a world without her is like waking up in a world without sky: unimaginable.”"So much of dealing with a disease is waiting. Waiting for appointments, for tests, for “procedures.” And waiting, more broadly, for it—for the thing itself, for the other shoe to drop."____________________________**________________________________________Quotes from The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion“ We have no way of knowing that the funeral itself will be anodyne, a kind of narcotic regression in which we are wrapped in the care of others and the gravity and meaning of the occasion. Nor can we know ahead of the fact (and here lies the heart of the difference between grief as we imagine it and grief as it is) the unending absence that follows, the void, the very opposite of meaning, the relentless succession of moments during which we will confront the experience of meaninglessness itself.”____________________________**________________________________________Verses from I Measure Every Grief I Meet by Emily DickinsonI measure every grief I meetWith analytic eyes;I wonder if it weighs like mine,Or has an easier size.I wonder if they bore it long,Or did it just begin?I could not tell the date of mine,It feels so old a pain.I wonder if it hurts to live,And if they have to try,And whether could they choose between,They would not rather die. ____________________________**________________________________________Edited by: Yohann BensonFollow us onInstagram: @booksontoastTwitter: @booksontFacebook: booksontoast

Discussing My Dark Vanessa w/ Author Kate Elizabeth Russell I Anuya I Sharin #BoTReadersClub Books on Toast 2020-10-21 | Whether or not you've read the haunting, magnetic and incredibly important My Dark Vanessa, you want to watch this conversation with the author Kate Elizabeth Russell, which goes beyond just this book and encompasses serious topics like the definition of victimhood, consent, assault and more. It was also our September #BoTReadersClub book of the month! TRIGGER WARNING: Sensitive topics - sexual assault Books Discussed: 1. Tenderness by Y.A. Cormier 2. My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell 3. Lolita by Vladimir NabokovBook Club Discussion Questions: 1. Did your definition of victimhood change after reading this book? 2. Because we saw Jacob Strane from Vanessa’s perspective, we never really hated Strane, even though we knew somewhere deep down that he was the villain in this story. What do you feel about him? 3. Let's discuss the line between consent and rape here; if Vanessa was three years older, would all of this be okay?4. The book opens with a Facebook post, in which the victim of sexual assault outs her perpetrator… How has social media shaped the discourse around consent/ agency in today’s times? What is the Books on Toast Reader's Club?#BOTReadersClub or Books on Toast Reader's Club is a unique space that curates the hottest novels and timeless books for our members to discover and read in the genre of your choice each month.
