I’ve learned 20 different words for grief since she died and none
of them approach the volume of visceral my body pushes through each day.
I’m currently obsessed with the idea of the soul in the body, how the soul wears the body like a suit: sometimes it fits, sometimes it’s snug, and sometimes it’s so itchy the soul just wants out of the body.
