This memoir explored experiencing both a huge loss and a huge gain, and reflected on how to live in a world where happiness and pain commingle.
Catherine Schultz is a staff writer at the New Yorker who has a new book called Lost and Found, a memoir which is really about her processing a huge loss in her personal life and then a huge gain.
I remember feeling simultaneously heavy and empty like a steel safe with nothing inside.
What I remember most from those first hours after my father died is watching my mother cradle the top of his bald head in her hand. A wife holding her dead husband without trepidation, without denial, without any possibility of being cared for and returned.
The most important thing that had vanished when he died I realized in that instant is wholly unavailable to me life as it looked to him life as we all live it from the inside out.
The new book it's called lost and found as you heard it is partly a memoir about losing my father and falling in love but also very much a reflection on these categories of loss and discovery that all of us live within in so many complicated and interesting and wonderful ways.
