So Sorry for Your Loss: How I Learned to Live with Grief, and Other Grave Concernsy first encounter with someone who thought you could connect with spirits was with my middle-school art teacher, Ms. Boudreaux, devout wearer of butterfly hair clips, butterfly jewelry, and butterfly print clothing. The rumor was that Ms. Boudreaux’s husband had passed away, and she believed he was reincarnated as a butterfly.
I wore my mom’s cobalt-blue colon-cancer-awareness bracelet every day for over two years after she died. It was a “linking object,” something that belonged to her, that helped me feel connected. If it accidentally fell off, I would frantically search until I found it. I didn’t think anything bad would happen, but something panicked me about losing it. That piece of circular blue rubber linked me to my mother and reminded me of what she had endured.
. This random rooster ran across Kathryn’s path, and she was convinced that it had something to do with our mom. Or that it was our mom. At that point, the butterfly and rooster texts became a running joke, but one we treated with respect. We longed to be in the presence of our mom, too, so we understood the need to seek her out anywhere you could.
