Today marked three months since Zeta’s death. I had several opportunities to be with people but I just couldn’t bring myself to do anything other than sleep, stream light comedy, and cry. #grief #childloss

I have no desire to self-harm and am safe but I just don’t feel attached to an ongoing future. I am simply breathing through one moment at a time.

My first thought as the ball dropped entering 2025 was “I don’t want to do this.” I am dedicated to seeing this first full year without Zeta through though, with hopes that by 2026 the endless pain will have eased some. It’s what they would want & I don’t want my surviving family to suffer more.

I managed to get through the holidays but all the togetherness brought waves of missing them so much I couldn’t breathe. I have particular comfort & grief in being with my niblings & friends’ kids they’d grown up with. Zeta’s absence was palpable yet no one else seemed to feel it. #grief #childloss

While I’m sharing, this is Zeta’s obituary. I hope you will read it and share in their memory. #grief #childloss

We had the memorial service for my child Zeta on Saturday at MIT’s chapel. It was a beautiful service, a mix of Jewish tradition, personal shares, photographs, & music they loved. I’m grateful friends of up to 40 yrs came from as far as VA & supported me throughout the weekend. #grief #childloss

BREAKING: Oral arguments in U.S. v. Skrmetti, the first Supreme Court case on health care access for trans people, have concluded.

Now, the Court must do the right thing: Affirm our constitutional promise to equal protection for all.

this is a combined view of the hubble and webb views of the ring nebula and oh my god it’s SO beautiful 🌌
