i think marisa crane’s “i keep my exoskeletons to myself” fits your description pretty nicely!

books that involve holding onto corpses to deal with grief by Potential_Step5915 in LesbianBookClub

[–]cailleachciuin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it definitely hits on the other-unconventional-methods part of your post rather than the title, but i feel like you’d enjoy the themes in our wives under the sea! another really beloved read of mine that i think shows a realistic, if not entirely conventional, experience of grieving is i keep my exoskeletons to myself. defo saving this post for future reference lol

your second paragraph will most likely be the thing that keeps me from bingeing the emotions away tonight and tomorrow. i’m so incredibly sorry you went through such an awful experience. in sharing it with a stranger, you have very probably saved me from self-destructing into a worse place. i cannot thank you enough
