In Made in SG, Melanie Oliveiro interviews Singaporean writer Alexander Ee about his book A Glimpse of Heaven: Grief, Self and Community on the Camino. The book recounts his process of navigating sorrow and finding acceptance after his wife passed away from cancer in 2019. It also chronicles his two-month, 925-kilometre walk along the Camino de Santiago — a historic pilgrimage route made up of interconnected trails across Europe that end in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Ee reflects on how the journey helped him confront loss, discover deeper meaning in life, and understand the importance of gratitude and forgiveness, themes that are central to the book.
