A year ago Joe died and the house was left without a support.
These two were closer than most siblings they loved and supported each other for their quirky and outlandish ways in life. In Kate Bassett’s novel, “Words and Their Meaning” we are able to witness different perspectives and attitudes connected to grieving and sorrow.Īnna called her Unlce Joe her bruncle because when his parents died, her grandparents, he was still young and Anna’s mom raised him like a son. Afterwards she goes through an 80’s rocker poets work, chooses a quote, and sharpies it into her hand as her daily verse. As for Anna her morning routine does not falter either, she wakes up and goes into her Coffin yoga which just means she pretends to be dead for as long as she can hold her breath. Her grandpa tries to get Anna to go out more, her mother pretends everything is okay, her younger sister Bea hides in every crack of the house, and her father is still going through a mid-life crisis with a younger woman. Rather than having this morning be a turning point everyone handles it the same as they have been for the past months. Anna’s story starts on the day that her therapists suggested would conclude the last of her grieving for her Uncle Joe which was exactly 365 days after his sudden death. Anna is a creative soul whose grieving process goes beyond every therapists 7-step pamphlet.
