And you know, a human brain can only hold so many memories and we're building them all the time.
So we do lose some that we have of our moms and women often feel really sad about that.
They wish they could hold on to more, especially the ones who were so young when their moms died that they can't remember her.
Maybe they even lost her when they were pre-verbal.
So they have to try to reconstruct an idea of who their mother was through photographs and documents and other people's memories because they don't have any of their own.
Well, I wouldn't say that they're wrong, but we have seen grief theory change and evolve over the past hundred years.
And so what we assume to be right or correct now is likely to be modified and changed in the next 20 or 30 years, perhaps.
I wouldn't say the five stages of grief were wrong.
They do apply under certain circumstances.
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross developed them with patients who were dying, and that's a form of grief, to acknowledge that you're coming to the end of your own life.
The patients that she observed went through denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and then acceptance.
That's not necessarily true to the family members and the loved ones who were left behind, but we do often experience denial or bargaining and depression.
We just don't necessarily do them in that kind of progressive lockstep order that ends with acceptance.
So you wrote this book when you were 27?
Yeah.
I wrote it when I may have started it at 27.
It came out when I was 29.
You're still a baby then.
That's such a good question, Tamsen.
No one ever asks me that.
