Feeling You In Absence: Genre Undetermined

He felt her absence so sharply. She lay in her coffin deep in the clay dirt, under a roll of green plastic grass that failed to conceal the raw ugliness of a grave dug into the hill.

Could frame it as a grandfather and a grandson's similar stories.... Congenital heart defect? Hrm. Pondering.
