Me for You

Fifty-four-year-old Rudy Knowles was downsized from his Silicon Valley tech firm. His hospital pharmacist wife, Bethany, is supportive as Rudy takes a job playing the piano at Nordstrom in the mall. Then 54-year-old Bee dies in her sleep. Nearly a year later and still overcome by grief, Rudy can't quite see any reason to get out of bed—not his wonderful if buttoned-up daughter Cecelia; his effervescent young granddaughter, Keira; not even his Nordstrom coworker Sasha, a Hungarian émigré who loves Rudy's renditions of Chopin while contending with her own unimaginable loss. Now the police think Bee might have been murdered by a hospital employee. A rest for Rudy is definitely in order. Winston (Good Grief) continues to drive home the entangled feelings of loss and loneliness following a tragedy. She allows Rudy his self-pity and anger as his emotions are part of learning how to go on without the love of his life.
