I think it's denial, but it's not really denial because it's not like it didn't happen.
That's an earlier example I was giving my mom.
She will absolutely go,
That light's not on.
Mom, the light's on.
That light's not on.
If I say it's not on, sometimes you're just like, that makes no sense.
You're just absolutely denying what just happened.
We even have it recorded.
And she'll go, well, the recording's lying.
Yeah.
I mean, that's part of a coping deal with her.

She didn't deny my dad dying.
I didn't.
But she sure as hell turned the page.
and said, I can still start a whole new category, a new life, a new love.
Let my heart love and be loved by someone living in this life today that I'm still living in.
And that will not trespass on my love for my husband, your father, Jim McConaughey.
And I think, I mean, we were just, thought that was beautiful.
