My grandmother told me I wasn’t allowed to cry. Through my tears I can see two clear bowls in front of me on the conference table, both brimming with individually packaged mints. Next to me is a colleague who has accompanied me to this meeting as my advocate, and across from us is our boss.

We had all said goodbye to Bernie in the spring. Physically, we were also compromised. Mary had just undergone a major surgery. Casey was consulting with her own surgeon on breast reconstruction after her double mastectomy.
