What I liked

The raw emotion. The frank confrontation of what she was dealing with and how she dealt with it. Getting to know and understand her and the process of grief better through the various characters she created.

What I didn't like

The intro before she spoke was out of context for me. It was more a dance without knowing expression of emotion.

My overall impression

It is a brilliant work. Marianne drew us in and welcomed us from the moment she spoke and welcomed us as participants to her ‘group’. The various characters allowed her to express a wide range of thoughts and feelings as they transitioned over time from grief, despire, anger and even humor. Very well done.
