Marie, thank you so much for your honest and generous comment. I am sorry to hear about your mother, and I hope you are finding comfort in your memories. Wow: “to learn to live in the obliterated place that’s now our world, where everything we used to be is simultaneously erased and omnipresent.” Figuring out how to balance around a shifting big hole is indeed new. Connecting with others on the experience is very helpful. Thank you again for reaching out and commenting, Marie!
