Just found out mom's going to die of cancer, most likely within 6 months. Recommend me something to read for this feeling. Anything, essays, stories, poems.

Unironically read the Bible, and Heidegger/Kierkegaard

I'm very sorry anon. I want to know though, why did you attach a picture of a cartoon frog crying? If something like that had happened to me I wouldn't post a picture of Pepe with it.

I recommend 'As I Lay Dying' by Faulkner.

Thanks, that's a genre I'm not familiar with

>>14700481
What Heidegger or Kierkegaard? I've been working through Being and Time, and I've read Diary of a Seducer

Not familiar with Faulkner, thanks. And would you prefer something like this? 4 generations of a family, something I wont get?
