I felt numb for like half a year, just nothing.

And before that were a couple of months of just, you know, April, April, May, most, some of June was just, it's not pain, it's,

C.S.

Lewis put this so well, grief feels like terror.

I was in terror 24 hours a day.

I was terrified of everything.

Terror.

And then, so that's why I was so happy to hit numbness.

And I was like, I'll live here forever.

I'll take numbness over terror.

And then it just turned into meeting someone who I was not, again, I wasn't, it was just, it was a weird, we had friends in common.

I didn't know who she was, but we have a friend in common, this actress, Martha Plimpton.

And my wife, Meredith Salander, they've been friends since they were teenagers, you know, like acting.

They were both child actors.

And so Martha would do these dinners where she would gather various people, different people just to bring them together and just have a salon.

Everyone just talks and meets.

And so I was invited to one and I didn't, I was traveling or something.

And then Meredith like posted or she messaged me and said, you know, that was, you missed the best fucking lasagna, dude.

And then I just said, ah, story of my life.

Maybe we'll go to Arby's or something like, just joking.
