Abstract
The Work of the Dying is a short collection of poetry inspired by the life of the author and her experiences with love, loss and family. This work explores themes of grief, mental health, home, and death and is influenced by the author's life in the Pacific Northwest. Poems in this project reflect on the death of two individuals close to the author, the start and end of a relationship, growing up with OCD, and learning how to live in the aftermath of these events.
