I was getting the vibe that this is just a “privileged people's guide to mourning”, but then there came references to some studies and acknowledgement that less privileged people have more challenges.
So this is still basically a narrative of a privileged person going through loss of a loved one, and it is touching and sad in that, since the core feeling of losing someone doesn't consider bank account balance or social status. Yet there are few takeaways in it for common folks with less privilege.
I do agree with a premise in the book, that adversity can be the fuel for growth and people that do grow after facing an adversity, often shift their focus to less mundane matters in life.
