A wee fiction rec for you today.

Zachary Rosenberg didn't write this piece with the current conflict in mind, but I keep coming back to it in that light. All this loss. How it speaks to us.

Framed by a Jewish rite, it can be read across the spectrum, as a reminder that grief work is not just about paying a debt to the departed. It's much more mutual than that; it's about letting the dead sit with you, too, and help you frame how to move forward.
