00:00I don't know what meaning I make of my mom dying except that it happened, and that it
00:06was really devastating to live through.
00:09I really miss her.
00:11It was panic.
00:12Panic would be the first thing, and then my, let's fix this mode went into place, and you
00:19just can't fix it.
00:21It was like ringing the bell for the wolves.
00:24So you had like police and, you know, reporters and everything else there.
00:30People will say, how long is my sister going to grieve?
00:33How long is my husband, my wife going to grieve, my loved one going to grieve?
00:37And I go, how long is the person going to be dead?
00:40Because if they're going to be dead for a long time, you're going to grieve a long time.
00:46Can I show up as my full self?
00:48If I feel like crying right now, are people going to accept that?
00:52If I feel like talking about my sister, or if I feel like sharing what I need in that
00:58moment, will people accept that?
01:00Will people accept me?
01:03Do you only want them to be a sad story?
01:08Can what they were, what they meant, the pride that I have that my love for them is still
01:17so present, it hasn't faded, it still can pain me?
01:24To get to where you can still find enjoyment out of their spirit, and what they mean to
01:34you, and what they meant to you.
01:37I literally felt like there was something jagged in my chest that was breaking my heart.
01:44It wasn't going to work anymore.
01:47And she said, that's what hearts do, they break, they break open.
