A specific example is the chapter "Losing." It describes how confusing and horrifying it was to prepare for her own death and then survive, skipping holidays with her family until New Year's Eve when her sister committed suicide. Allie remarks that they had a weird relationship, then dedicates several pages to drawings of her sister, before lamenting that she never found closure. She remarks that she bawled the hardest at her sister's funeral without even realizing it. Despite Allie's concerns that she could never convey her confusing feelings accurately, this section is a pretty accurate description of grief.

This should not happen to anyone, let alone people who are that ill.
