Forty-second challenge finish of the year.
This is another one that has been on my Kindle since 2014. Subject matter was about the sudden death of a man, and how he and his family grieved the end of life as they knew it, and grew through their grief. It was okay. The formatting was a little confusing.

When I chose this book (on my Kindle since 2023) I had intended it for the 'starts with the letter M' prompt, but before I got to the first page, I realized that it had an epigraph and that that prompt hadn't been filled yet either. There were others on my Kindle that started with an 'M' so that prompt got put on hold for a bit.
I enjoyed it. The story started in early 2020 with the beginning of Covid. The two main characters were a resident of an assisted living facility and a nursing assistant at that same facility. Both were in difficult personal situations, and the pandemic brought them together.
It's amazing how I had blocked the beginning impacts of Covid from my mind...the toilet paper, disinfectant, sanitizer, and mask shortages...the quarantining of the aged in facilities...the effects on essential and non-essential workers...the lack of hugs.
I will have to take a look at the 2nd book. I recently threw away the last of our free Covid tests as they expired and found the boxes of medical gloves we bought early in the pandemic in case we had to care for the other. Homemade masks too.
