Thank you for your honesty and courage in writing about such intimate and painful things. Hopefully it all serves as a life vest of sorts, to ease your way to the river bank.

There are no "wrong" truths to share, Ted, as you clearly know. All creative writing is self-indulgent, by definition, and that's certainly an essential ingredient of memoir-style essays -- as baked-in as flour is in oven creations.
So thanks for indulging in self-reflection and generously sharing the emotions, lessons and observations. They're as yeasty and enticing as fresh bread.

This latest essay resonates deeply five months after my German immigrant mom’s death at age 106, the finale of a remarkable saga of wartime survival, reinvention and resilience.
This is so beautiful,true and meaningful to me. Thank you for your honesty and eloquent words.
Please continue sharing because I do believe with all of my heart and soul that to help others is what makes us whole again.

His comments were rude. If he can't handle this stuff === that's on him. Some people can't but then this isn't their cup of tea. He needs to move on.
