Description
In a memoir of startling honesty and vulnerability, journalist and ecologist Bahar Dutt writes, straight-from-the-shoulder, about the grief and trauma of losing a parent in the Covid-19 pandemic. Chrysalis is as much a meditation on bereavement as it is on rediscovering oneself.
Much like rivers, soil and trees defy linear concepts and fantasies of time, grief and the work of inner healing move via crests and troughs. The aftermath of losing a loved one has its own share of sunlit patches, but mostly, extended plateaus of stagnation.
In an intimate examination of the loss of a parent, Bahar takes stock of all that is lost, with a perceptive eye on all that is yet to come and the many versions of life she did not get to live. Through anecdotal essays, Chrysalis explores the role of therapy, community and nature in finding the broken pieces of one's life-world.
