Struggling with death and endings

Diary of a Writer - Cecilia Poullain

I spent a long time this morning trying to work out how to structure this section of the book. I had initially written it as a series of reactions to deaths and leaving places, but that doesn't really work. I'm trying to find the through-line - the central dramatic question - and I think it might be something like: "can I come to peace with death and endings?"
