Death, although inevitable, is not an easy subject. What often follows is grief, a universally understood feeling that is also deeply personal. Every story of grief around the world, even within families, takes its own unique form of heartbreak. In This Side of the Veil, Karina Cheah has woven a collection of seven short stories, ensconced in the realm of fiction, that address the difficult issues of grief, loss, and finding oneself again after experiencing a loss. Seven characters, from a seven-year-old girl to Cheah herself, share their different stories of moving forward in mourning in the hopes that you, reading them, can find a connection.
