Books that deal with grief, loss, and existentialism

I lost my best bud the other day, on the 9th anniversary of my dads passing.

My cat was the best boy I could ever ask for, I got him when I was in my early 20s and am now in my mid 30s. I learned so much about love and responsibility from him, he expanded and shaped my heart and soul. To me he wasn’t just a cat or a pet but my soul brother.

Honestly, losing a parent his hard, devastating, but long my boy was harder.

The house feels so empty now that he’s gone. I feel so lost, it feels like a part of myself is gone.

I just need something to make sense of it all

I will say I read the year of magical thinking like 11 years ago, but haven’t read it since.
