This Side of the Veil

Death, although inevitable, is not an easy subject. What often follows is grief, a universally understood feeling that is also deeply personal. Every story of grief around the world, even within families, takes its own unique form of heartbreak. In Karina Cheah has woven a collection of seven short stories, ensconced in the realm of fiction, that address the difficult issues of grief, loss, and finding oneself again after experiencing a loss. Seven characters, from a seven-year-old girl to Cheah herself, share their different stories of moving forward in mourning in the hopes that you, reading them, can find a connection.
