Bear with me, there’s a point: I held my husband as he died almost a year ago, and when I wrapped my arms around him one last time he exhaled into my ear because the force of my squeeze released the breath he’d died taking. I’ve spent so many of these months imagining that moment as the precipice of reanimation instead of finality. I wanted to breathe life back into him but couldn’t. So I’ve spent the last year barely being able to breathe myself. So, will be trying #9 tonight.
