At the time of this recording, it was the eve of the anniversary of the death of the patriarch of my family. This was my uncle Stanely–the oldest of 12 children and so looked up to by his siblings, nieces and nephews, and the community–his neighborhoods. But it goes without saying that his wife, my aunt Annette, has experienced this in a way that none of us can imagine. She also lost her mother one year before losing her husband. Today she shares her story publicly because she sees the value in my grief exercises and believes there’s potential in using her transparency to help the rest of our family heal as well.
