The murder investigation in #MareOfEasttown is incidental. There is certainly a mystery at the heart of it, but like almost all great stories that mystery is about finding out a way to learn to live with one's grief. 
Battles we fight and lose, over and over again. Until that moment arrives when you pull yourself together and climb out of the arena. From denial, to despair and finally acceptance. Knowing well that you may fall back into that pit again. There's no permanent cure for some pains.
Sometimes the only closure we can find is the thought that almost everyone we love is coping with life like an incomplete portrait...and learn to smile today with less than what we had before, what we thought was indispensable to our survival even yesterday. And yet, here we are.
