I think a lot of her choices where coming from a place of hurt and to answer Lukes first question, I think she was really unfazed because she was in such a state of losing herself, she couldn't care to show how she felt about that, I she even could let herself feel something about that, bc as she said she also was to the point of wishing it was her.

1. could Oskar have had more closure if his mother and him came together to grieve rather than grew apart?
2. what came of Oskar and his grandfathers relationship after the fact?]]> 2021-05-26 12:33:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonahue7/2bnn6n8upv2wlgkw/wish/1561125227
