Going to lose my mind. It’s like I didn’t even grow up in the same state as everyone else. If I hear “No, that’s not the way it happened” one more time I will come unspooled. Behave, Jo, behave…if no one else then for your mother’s memory.

Beyond overwhelmed. We’re trying to get my parents’ home cleaned up after decades of hoarding and we end up having to comfort everyone else with lunches and dinners and breakfasts. Getting monumentally resentful. I just want to be left alone to process my father’s death.

After a convocation speech he gave about practicing kindness went viral, the writer George Saunders earned a public reputation for goodness — a narrative that he resists. On “The Interview,” Saunders explains how he’s just as flawed as anyone else. Read, watch or listen.

The intense amount of grief this caused me took the wind out of me just sitting in the truck. Like a post-apocalyptic world. I have not been home in 24 years. We did not part well.

Noting irony: The book on the left, what I read to my mother in the hospital in 2002. The book on the right, what I’m reading over the course of my father’s bereavement. Both books are set less than an hour from where I grew up.📚
