Read this in one-sitting and realize how 'good you have it'

I found this 127 page paperback in the library of the Great Eastern Hotel in London, England. The title caught my eye.Yes, it deals with grief after a most desirable family member passes away. This Aunt Lupe has lived a most difficult life in Mexico City. It's a cultural look at poverty and the things people must do to simply survive. It was awakening as a reminder of how easily we forget. If there was an earth-shattering event...most of us (EVEN YOU) could be in a similar predicament. It's hard to fathom it possible but we are lucky to have what we do. If any of you have lost a loved one...the book is helpful in dealing with grief as well. Don't be turned off by the depressive title of the book as Oscar Lewis has contributed a fine piece of literature. It is quite the classic.
