The memoir begins chronicling days from when a disease afflicts Nawaraj Kaji and begins to weaken him.

Losing a loved one is one of the most traumatizing situations a person can go through. No wonder most of us crawl into our shells, ignore the real world, and wallow in grief for months, even years. That’s quite understandable, even expected.

But a bit different from ordinary mortals is Sarita Shrestha, who has exchanged her pain for strength and crafted an entire book out of her final separation with her husband, Nawaraj Kaji Shrestha. The book has turned out to be a sort of journal that talks, in lucid detail, of events since her husband’s illness, subsequent treatments and his foray into the other world. While its informative and cathartic value cannot be negated, the literary value also slowly begins to build up as we go through the pages.
