   In "Fi," Alexandra Fuller shares a deeply personal journey through grief and healing. Set against the backdrop of Wyoming's rugged landscape, Alexandra grapples with the loss of her 21-year-old son, Fi, while navigating the complexities of her own life. As she mourns, she reflects on past losses, including her father and her homeland of Zimbabwe, and strives to remain present for her two daughters. Her path to healing takes her from the mountains of Wyoming to a grief sanctuary in New Mexico and a meditation retreat in Canada. Through poetry, nature, and the wisdom of her childhood in Zimbabwe, Alexandra seeks solace and understanding in a world that offers no clear guide to grieving a child. Her story is a poignant exploration of loss, resilience, and the unexpected moments of humor that can arise even in the darkest times.
