It comes gradually at first, then, like the Hemingway-ism, suddenly. Beach chairs fold up. Kayaks return to garages. Speculative camping trips remain just that. The plans and possibilities of summer cease. The season's conclusion can spark a sense of loss. That might sound like an overstatement, but as with any experience that ends too soon, there's a sense that something has been missed out on, that feelings and moments remain just beyond our grasp.

My imagination in the years after my mother’s death might best be described as catastrophic. Death was everywhere. Cars sped into pedestrians. I fell down subway steps or was hit by swinging fire escapes. Grim visions I both desired and got stuck in. I inhabited my own little invented universe of disaster, taking solace in the idea that if I could imagine the worst-case scenario before it happened, I could be ready for the subsequent grief when it came to pass.
