Mom’s Sweater
Jayde Perkin
After visiting her mother in the hospital, a girl and her father learn that her mother has died. The first-person narrative covers the flurry of activity afterward and the grief that stays with the girl when ordinary life resumes. She sees that grief as a dark space around her, then begins to wear one of her mother’s old sweaters. Her father compares the sweater to grief: it may remain the same size while a person’s world grows larger around it.
