A Daidí, A Chara - A Collage Zine About Grief, Mourning, Memory, and Time
£2.75
A Daidi, a Chara is the first letter i wrote to my dad since i was 14. Its a wee zine for people who are learning to live with the feelings of grief.
Monumental grief ends up creating a chasm in your life of BD/AD - before death, and after death. My only grasp of time for the last 11 years has been this, as it is for so many who lose a loved one.
Every moment between then and now, and many moments after, I’ve questioned what would be different right now if he was still here. That’s the temptress of grief - the desire to torment yourself with the small thoughts of what would change the minute details of the ‘today’ if that loss never happened.
Grief is not something you ever overcome - it’s something that becomes a familiar face. It gets easier to live with, but it never leaves you - it changes you fundamentally as a person, and can reshape your perspective on the world.
