    this isn't really what twitter is for, but ten years ago today my son died and I basically never talk about it with anyone other than my wife. it's taken me ten years to realize that I want to talk about it all the time. this is about grief

    there is nothing i won't do to make sure the waiter likes me. i will sell out everyone at the table. "i'm so sorry about them" even if they're being totally normal. nothing matters more to me. i would give it all away.

    and maybe now, a decade later, i'm ready to contribute a tiny bit to his legacy also, with a plea: *ask your sad friend about the sad thing that you never talked about*

    grief is isolating, but not just because of the sadness. also because the sadness is the only part about it that anyone knows.

    ask your friend about the sad thing that you never talk about, and be open to the depth of that experience. one day, and I mean this without grimness or condescension, everyone you know will be dead. it will help us if we talk about it. or anyway it is helping me.

    my dead son has a legacy already, in my wife, who became a pediatric intensive care nurse because of him. can you believe it? being around sick and dying children all day? healing/caring for them? she does that because of my son.

    but grief is not one thing, it is a galaxy of emotions, most of which are put in orbit by the loss of someone you loved, and the harrowing (or not) circumstances surrounding that loss. but we only get to talk about one part publicly: the sadness.

    some things make me confused: we cremated our son. how the fuck does that work? like, what are steps one through ten of that process? some things make me laugh: the funeral home handed us a receipt after our son's funeral that said "thank you come again" at the bottom.

    if you are grieving, you are not alone.
