Stories on Grief

Description: Trigger Warning: Suicide

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought about a profound impact on the psychological well-beings of people of all ages. This is why more than ever, it is important to gain a better understanding of mental health issues.

In Thirteen Reasons Why, Clay Jensen discovers several cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker–his classmate and crush–who committed suicide two weeks earlier. Hannah’s voice tells him that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he’ll find out why. In So Much I Want to Tell You, Anna Akana opens up about her process of grief after losing her teen sister, Kristina, to suicide. Both books offer us honesty and vulnerability in a candid manner, reminding us especially of the people that matter the most.
