Reflecting on Miss Havisham, one of the most famous ghosts in the marriage plot, this personal essay considers the importance of having space to grieve. While living as a lodger in my colleague’s home after ending my marriage, I dreamed of Miss Havisham’s Satis House: a space of my own where I could decay alongside the scraps, fragments, and stuff that makes a life. But when I moved into my apartment, I identified more with Catherine Dickens who mourned her mistreatment by Charles but moved on all the same. Ultimately, this essay celebrates the love that appears minor in the marriage plot but is major during separation.
