Loss is a meditation on death, grief, love, loss and moving on. Spanned across three essays, each describing the death of a loved one, Loss is a poignant and evocative work of art. Accompanied with beautiful photos and words of wisdom from writers and intellectuals across centuries, Loss is heartfelt and thoroughly gripping.

Siddharth’s writing is succinct and moving. I felt as if I was the one experiencing his loss, instead of witnessing him experience it. His words invoke a multitude of emotions. I absolutely love the point he makes about showing up when someone has passed away. People will forget if you skip birthday parties, as he rightly says, but never forget if you don’t show up to a funeral.
