“...It felt like permission.

The kind I hadn't let myself have for [six months]. The kind of permission I'd been waiting for, as I sat alone in [her] apartment in grief, welled up so high, it felt suffocating.

I told myself over and over, I had to be ok.

And finally, finally! Someone gave me permission to come undone.”
