How are you doing? I'm okay. Are you sure? I'm not sure of anything anymore. Are you eating? Sure, I'm eating. Are you sleeping okay? Yes, every night for about five hours. Are you getting washed and dressed and getting out? Yup, I'm doing all those things. Do you have a therapist if it all becomes too much? Yes, I know of a therapist I can call. Do you need anything? I don't think so. Will you promise to reach out if you do need something? Yes, I promise. What's it like? Well, it's like being a pariah that people want to avoid, and it's like being a stray, that people want to rescue. It's like driving in a car on a beautiful day, and then not being able to see through the tears that come out of nowhere. It's like trying to maintain a connection to all the things that make up your life. It's like getting through just this one day, and then the next. It's like making peace with the quiet and the emptiness. It's like trying to remember that life goes on . . .it's like being so grateful for family and friends who care enough to ask the hard questions.
