A Mother’s Unveiling: The Undoing of Closure

I just published a very personal piece on the Washington Post website. If you like it please pass it on.

  שִׂימֵנִי כַחוֹתָם עַל-לִבֶּךָ, כַּחוֹתָם עַל-זְרוֹעֶךָ--כִּי-עַזָּה כַמָּוֶת אַהֲבָה,

 “Put me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death.” (Song of Songs 8:6)

Thank you, Rabbi Steinmetz. We just had the "unveiling" for my father, and my feelings mirror yours.
