I missed this when it was first published. I love metaphor of grief as arrows, and also appreciate the style of writing—poignant and quietly powerful. Such strength in truths.

What a terrific reunion for you. Is that you in the middle row right smack in the middle, in the 1974 photo? Always smiling, always the good sport... :)

Beautifully written Jen and as usual thoughtfully astute. Grief is a long and enduring process that is endemic to the Jewish people.

What wonderful insight. The conversation with your coach really left a mark. Thank you for sharing this. Hopefully, more of your relatives will be at peace because of this understanding.
