The vicarious pig

Death is intimated vicariously through a pig. The protagonist swears off her friends, the vet, and all humans interested in helping her cope with the loss of her husband. Yet she stubbornly waits for her own death and the remote chance of a reunion with her son who is too busy and/or legally unable to visit. In a reflection of her life, she is not sure why she has lived in one place for so long, but somehow it seems right to her. This is the most banal and passive artful attempt at depicting life, loss, and the inevitable death among two stubborn characters: a pig, and a woman who seemingly has nothing.
