“nightmares about your loss can make sleep something you’d rather avoid. Nightmares suck. And yet recurrent dreams, or dreams that have you delivering the news about death over and over, are actually a healthy and necessary part of grief.

“what I liked most about the original Rocky movie was that Rocky didn’t care if he won the fight that ends the film. He just didn’t want to get knocked out. That was his goal.

“I let the slide linger, so the audience could follow the arrows and count my tumors. “All right,” I said. “That is what it is. We can’t change it. We just have to decide how we’ll respond. We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.”
