By the way, anyone has read "The Year of Magical Thinking" by Joan Didion? It's a personal essay about the grief surrounding the sudden death of her husband. Weirdly, my W just read it and found it "amazing".
Yes i've read it. It's very well written, of course. (Joan Didion is an excellent author).
MAYBE this^^ is a clue from your wife about how SHE feels as her m to you may be ending. OR maybe she just shared a "moment" with you. No matter.
I'd read it if I were you--then I'd make a comment to your w about it but Don't see this as pursuit (which always includes expectations).
Yes, I'm reading it. The writing is masterful and the story is gripping. I didn't know Joan Didion.
I should clarify that my W posted about the book on a social media; she did not mention the book directly to me. She knows I follow her though, so with some mind reading, she might have thought it would reach me. I try not to read too much into and want to finish the book before forming an opinion, because I suspect there are many ways to interpret the reference. It could be that she's also experiencing grief. Or that we get over pain, eventually. Oh well, just enjoying the book.
Also, I've just cut off all means of informal communications a few days ago, when I explained why I declined her lunch invitation, so I don't really see how I could tell her that I've read the book until we resume these communications, much later. Still, it might touch her at the right moment that I listen to her.
