We all deal in grief in our own ways. Some people retreat into themselves, others find solace in a bottle, still others turn to their friends and loved ones for solace.
For cartoonist Sarah Leavitt, the death of her longtime partner Donimo — who had chronic health issues, and chose to end her suffering in April of 2020 — her way of dealing was to write and draw the comics she’s now collected as Something, Not Nothing: A Story Of Grief And Love (paperback, Kindle).
In the following email interview, Leavitt explains what she wrote about in these comics, why she decided to release them for all to see, and whether doing all of this helped her deal with her grief.
