Bills. Grades. Politics. Who forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer. Then the room goes quiet when someone says, “I’m not okay.” That silence has weight. It teaches kids to hide. It teaches teenagers to perform happiness. It teaches adults to push through until they can’t. It teaches grieving people that their pain makes others uncomfortable.

Losing two brothers asks the heart to keep learning how to survive.
