Therapy and Truths
Dr. Weiss made me face what I’d been avoiding. “Grief isn’t solved. It’s carried. But Marcus—grief cannot be your excuse not to live.”
One day she asked me to write Catherine a letter. I wrote through tears:
“If I let myself love Rachel, does that mean our love wasn’t special? If I’m happy again, does that mean I didn’t love you enough?”
Rachel sat beside me as I read it aloud. Her response broke me open:
“Marcus, I don’t want you to stop loving Catherine. I’m asking you to love me too.”
