Helga Schubert on Grief, Caregiving and Her New Book "Die Woche danach"

In an interview tied to her new book "Die Woche danach," Helga Schubert discusses the death of her husband and the expectations placed on the bereaved. Schubert had previously written about caregiving, and the conversation returns to that subject alongside her account of widowhood. The interview also addresses the expectations people place on partners, and it raises the question of whether literature can offer consolation. The discussion was published by Süddeutsche Zeitung in its culture section.
