On the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, I’m mindful of all those who lost someone
that day, as well as everyone who has lost people since then to sudden death.
The entire world can change in an instant without any warning, without any time to
prepare, and without any chance to say goodbye.
When death comes to someone
we love dearly, the world changes, and we are forced to change with it. When we first leave
our homes and go back into public, we are numb and in shock. The streets of the city
feel different, and it seems that people are looking at us differently. This
may be true because the face that people were used to seeing on us is gone. We
wear a different expression now. And if people know we are grieving, they may also
treat us differently because we are going though something that scares them,
and they don’t know how to handle that.
