On The Things They Carried
Back to their Homes.
Knowing how to support a loved one through a traumatic, isolating experience of which we have minimal understanding is a challenge unto itself. We can grasp clues from movies and novels, self-help books, and support groups, but each person's relationship bears its own tacit consequences which surface at unexpected moments. And so it goes in relationships, regardless of its shape and size, when support supercedes sickness and (in) health, sibling rivalry and rights of passage, breakups and makeups, losses and recognitions, lessons we hate to love to learn, and everything in between. How lucky we are to experience life in these ways, even when we're sure we're out of luck forever. Enjoy!
