He grabbed The broom lets you fall right into the story. I was there beside him. I could even smell The baby at The end. Well done😍

I think these are the strongest sentences in the piece: "Lars had never cooked or cleaned before she had taken ill. He’d become pretty good at it. Their home felt empty without her."

The act of cleaning is a symbol of domestic life. That Lars does the cleaning now drives home the point that his wife is gone.
