Is anyone there? by Marian Keyes, light-hearted and a bit funny
On a more serious end, On Earth, we are briefly gorgeous by Ocean Vuong

Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking is a highly awarded grief memoir that is beautifully written. He died in late December and she eventually died herself about 17 years later in December as well. In between those death their daughter died as well. Didion told her story in Blue Nights.

“The Swimmers” by Julie Otsuka is a brief and beautiful meditation on losing a parent to dementia. Literary fiction that does some very creative things with POV.
