In Max Porter’s Grief Is the Thing with Feathers, a woman passes, which sends the husband and two boys to the depths of sadness. Thus, the state of grief is examined.

exceptions. One way to deal with the grief that comes along with such traumatic experiences is to write about it. Philips deals with the grief of losing her son through writing a poem. Burney also deals with her grief, but by writing about her mastectomy in the form of a short story.
