I was very angry.
I was depressed.
I was all the things.
I beat up on myself, like what could I have done to make my brother's life outcomes different?
And through that process, I landed on the one true key that I believe is the greatest opportunity to open those doors of grief.
And that was gratitude.
You know, I began to be really thankful for all the moments that I got a chance to spend with my brother.
And that's how I've been able to navigate the grief and the guilt.
So that was 2021.
He was about 40.
I think he was like 41.
Yeah.
Yeah, and I actually write about how grief is very, you know, sometimes it kind of snuggles up to you unexpectedly.
Sometimes it sneaks up to you, and then sometimes it's just like a sledgehammer that comes and just knocks a hole in drywall in your life.
And for me, it's knowing that I have something that I go back to, you know, which is the gratitude.
You know, the idea that one arrives at being healed is something that I think we've kind of bought into as a society because we want some type of end result to a thing.
I mean, you think about it, even in our work life, you know, someone passes, you get your bereavement leave, which is probably about two weeks on average.
And then it's like, all right, back to work, back to Zoom calls, back to meetings.
And our grief isn't equal, but yet equal.
You know, in our professional life, we treat it as such.
