| Sumario: | This paper will address the experience of grief as a particular occurrence that causes the lives of the survivors to reset. That is, a new life (or second life) that happens, without fail, in writing. In that sense, the beginning of grief involves the beginning of a new subject, which is born when a beloved dies and starts a learning journey in writing. In Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking, her husband’s death leads to the indetermination or loss of the self, so the subjectivity falls into crisis. The need to retell the loss and establish a boond with the absent beloved shows the imaginary nature of the mourning process as an unfathomable and unspeakable experience. Didion writes as the only way to restart a life without her partner. |
