You take care of the people you love, but it’s true, too, that you take care of the things you own.
Deb CalettiThis is not to say I don’t feel my own grief, which can hit powerfully at unexpected times. It’s just that the telling does not automatically bring on my own upset, as people assume. I deal more with their reaction than they do with mine, and so you have to choose your timing.
