The author, Marsha Hill, invites readers into a raw and uncomfortable truth about how society treats its elderly, emphasizing that the way we care for this demographic defines our collective future. From the challenges of dealing with the bureaucracy of death to the reflection on human dignity at every stage of life, 'Grief and Grit(s)' promises to be a stunning debut that weaves tragedy and triumph, laughter and tears, into a narrative that resonates with the power of the human spirit. Even though I'm a mood reader and try not to read memoirs of very heavy topics, Hill's writing was light and easy to get through.
