At the funeral of a friend’s husband who had died by suicide, she held me tight and whispered in my ear, “Don’t you do this.”
I’ve been fighting to live up to her words ever since.

- Walked into church and <50% masked. I started to panic and went outside. Crying, I told my husband I couldn’t go in there to worship, as I was so full of anger towards the non-maskers. He suggested I would be able to let the anger go and i blurted out, “maybe I don’t want to!”

- In a talk on Sunday, a lady related how someone she admired decided to show his devotion to God by giving up popcorn for a year and my irate and incredulous reaction was so loud I don’t think I can ever go back to my ward.
