My uncle died in his 40’s. It was a terrible, traumatic time for our family. But I have a positive memory of taking a break from the wake with my cousins, and going for ice cream.
One of the times I was in the psych ward, I was hanging out with some other girls in my room, chatting and reading fashion magazines like it was a slumber party.
