While I have continued to read HCR's letters over the past few days, I have been remiss about posting anything myself. My "little" brother died on Saturday, and there is a huge hole in my heart. We all have a family story and he was a significant part of mine. I no longer have a verifier, one who can validate or refute my memories.

All this to say, thank you, Heather, for your overview of the past four years, especially one that echoes my own. I wouldn't want them repeated, but I certainly needed to have them chronicled. May we never have to live through anything even vaguely similar. The damage inflicted upon us by 45 and his lackeys will be haunting us for decades to come.
I love your comment “I no longer have a verifier, one who can validate or refute my memories.” I lost my best friend, my sister, 3 years ago and this really describes perfectly part of my heartbreak! I am so sorry!
My deep condolences. I've had a similar loss of family memory and even though several members, now gone, left written stories, those accounts are only paper leaves covered in dead ink. Nothing can compensate for loved ones lost.
May your understandable grief be lifted at not also having to read about the destructive actions of DJT. Peace be with you. It has been a sorrow-filled time. 💙
I, too, send condolences, Rowshan. I am so very sorry for the loss of your brother, your verifier. May you be blessed with comfort in this time of grief.
I send you my heartfelt condolences, Rowshan. I lost both my "little" brothers much too soon, and you just said eloquently something that I remember feeling but had no words for, that "I no longer have a verifier, one who can validate or refute my memories." Peace to you. You're not alone.
