Jill Golick’s unbidden smile hides the weight of losing her son. She finds solace in the "shakhul," a Torah concept that gives voice to her endless grief.
The ex was ex for a good reason. Jealousy, envy, signs of regret, of something someone wishes to have or have had. To be able to eulogize, speaking the good, the bad, the ugly and glorious love is something to be earned. As is to be eulogized that way. BDE
I love this so much. We typically canonize our dead children. My own daughter was also a terrible teen. My God, some of the shit she pulled! Had she lived, she’d probably have been proud of that. I know she’d hate it if I only spoke about her goodness. I will miss her forever.
Thank you so very much for this electrifying tribute. It's heart-mangling and absolutely beautiful. His memory is a blessing for all of us.

May his Soul rest in eternal peace. Amen. 🇮🇱
Thanks for this wonderful gem.
Jill, thank you so much for this piece. It's powerful. I will be passing it on to a friend who could benefit.
