"One of the hardest things for traumatized people is to confront their shame about the way they behaved during a traumatic episode," — Aug 20, 2026 08:08PM

“I hugged him and held him for a few seconds. My embrace couldn't fix what was happening with his baby and it couldn't fix the abuse from my tio. But I wanted it to fix what had happened between us. His hug was gentle, and I felt mine soften. My shoulders dropped and I felt his drop, too. Something lifted out of our bodies. I had pictured Ever as a monster. Did he transform? Or did I? Tortuga Bebe didn't grab anyone by the ear and force us to work things out. She drew compassion from our skin with an invisible electricity. She did more work for our families in her three days than I did in two decades.”

“An American “epidemic of loneliness,” it’s being called, in research papers, the press, even on an official U.S. government website. Two in five Americans are unhappy with the relationships they do have. One in five Americans feel lonely and socially isolated. Loneliness, these researchers warn, is as lethal as smoking 15 cigarettes a day; can lead to suicide, Alzheimer’s disease, and other dementias; messes with our immune and cardiovascular systems, and more. Loneliness, in other words, is killing us.
So every night, like a bedtime prayer, I open my apps and swipe.”

“She didn’t really like classical music and there was no Vince to whisper in her ear and tell her what was beautiful about it. His descriptions were so clear. Handel was all scarlet ostrich feathers and silk ribbons fluttering in the wind, great silver trays blazing with candlelight. Wagner was trees creaking and silk ribbons fluttering in the wind, great silver trays blazing with candlelight. Wagner was trees creaking and snapping in the storm, foam running up the foot of a cliff, waves sweeping round rocks, black peaks reaching to the sky. Vince was no longer there, it was only music with no introduction and no commentary.”
