she writes that it’s still hard for her not to think of her father’s death “as a kind of negligent homicide,” facilitated by the state’s failure to provide anything resembling a social safety net. It’s one reason so many of us struggle to get care needed for ourselves or our loved ones, often leaving us with guilt intermingling with our grief in the aftermath., Chung examines grief, anxiety, class, and family amid the loss of her parents.
Tell us a little about the process of writing this book, and how it changed over the course of writing. At that point, I think responding to that crisis, trying to help her as her only child, it was a lot. The pandemic hit, and the first cases [were] being reported around the time she was entering hospice. I knew my life was different, and the world was different, and the book would change. I finally figured out [that] my relationship with my mother [is] the foundation of this new book, and it was through that relationship that I thought I could also explain what had happened with my father.
I think it's just always so hard to truly see our parents–and maybe other elders too–as who they are fully and not who they are in relationship to us. My mother was definitely a very anxious person. I think I'd always chalked up some of her anxiety to the fact that my father was so ill. After he was gone, I began to see and then connect it to moments when I was growing up and realize, Oh, this is something else.
