Good Grief

Returning from the memorial service, June Pepper, middle-aged widow of a tough tabloid editor cut down in his prime, sets about following her late husband's instructions to keep a journal of her bereavement, as therapy. But he did not say anything about writing it down. It is therefore in the form of a stream-of-consciousness monologue to the departed Same that June records her reflections on her new status of widowhood. And she is to find that this business of grieving is not the straightforward process she had imagined.
