Well done Alexis! It is kind of cosmic that you encountered that scenario while heading to a talk on loss. I am so glad it all worked out for your new friend and that he got back in touch. I suspect you will have that coffee at some point.

Yes! Feels a bit crazy. I’m glad it worked out too and I’m looking forward to the coffee. 😊

Well done, Alexis. Our group of college roommates met by Zoom—Galencia, Spain; Cape Cod, MA; Takoma, WA—and remembered Amy, your mom. It was lovely to look into the faces of old friends and see the young women we once were.

Your post is reaffirming and instructive. I lost my only brother 11 months ago and I find myself vacillating between then and now. And losing Amy, again. Once to time and another to the hereafter. Your substack today is spot on. And appreciated. Thank you.
