Wow. This is my favorite of all I’ve read by you. Life is so full of unsettling changes and, for me, fears of inconsolable grief. The desire to be above and beyond it is quite compelling. It wasn’t until my mother died that I could begin to relax into it because I had no choice. Leonard Cohen said that the understanding that your suffering is exactly the same as everyone else’s is the beginning of a responsible adulthood. That is so true. ❤️
