Over our brutal cancer year, my daughter Orli has documented herself for TikTok. It is a flipbook of her treatment & recovery & setbacks, a primer on how a middle schooler fathoms the unfathomable, and how she created a bridge to the outside world. nytimes.com/2020/12/29/opini…

In honor of Orli’s 16th birthday, please (re)read my friend @SarahAWildman’s most beautiful essay …and look for the foxes and do the bucket lists. Be ‘here.’

“I developed a working theory over the course of Orli’s treatment that the American ethos that hard work leads to success rendered facing death, let alone dying, incomprehensible” - by @SarahAWildman nytimes.com/2024/11/25/opini… via @NYTOpinion

What if, when our daughter was dying, “we were presented with something other than relentless hope?” @SarahAWildman asks. “If we had been asked to really consider that Orli’s time on earth was limited, how would we have used that time?”

“Death in America is a whisper, a shame, an error.”
Such an important and eloquent piece by @SarahAWildman

This wrenching piece was more than a year in the making. I hope it starts a conversation.

“In mourning, and in crisis, food is often an action, an act. It is typically how we meet the needs of those whose pain we cannot imagine, especially when we feel stymied by our limitations,” Sarah Wildman writes.

"I’ve come to see that, after loss, part of what fuels a person’s ability to keep living — and not just survive — is a continued engagement with curiosity."
An amazing @SarahAWildman piece on Joan Nathan and also, I think, on life

“A year is a strange and terrible marker of time, simultaneously endless and instant,” writes @SarahAWildman. “A year of loss is a new form of permanence: This is the life we lead. It will not change.”

On Sunday it will be one year. Since @orlihalpern died in her room, in our house, in my arms. nytimes.com/2024/03/14/opini… #Grief #childloss #Cancer
I’ve been thinking a lot about holidays this year, and absence.

<the key to seeing each other’s humanity is in somehow recognizing how universal the terrible ongoing nature of loss is, how human it makes us, how frail, how essential each day is, when none of us has any idea about the next.> @SarahAWildman nyti.ms/3GcKETp
