		<description><![CDATA[Thank you for sharing this, Chelsea. It is eerily familiar as my brother died suddenly last year on Feb. 23 (your dad&#039;s birthday) shortly after his 35th birthday on Feb. 4. It has been a hard year, and this is the first time I am confronting both the anniversary of his birth and his death in the same month - these 19 days are carved out in my mind as a time of emptiness, which is made especially surreal because my own birthday bisects the two dates.

I am also at a loss for words. I don&#039;t write about it or even talk about it much because nothing I say can capture how I feel. I think you&#039;re right about writing &lt;i&gt;with&lt;/i&gt; and not writing &lt;i&gt;through&lt;/i&gt; - there is no other side, just what we have here as we keep on going. I wish you all the best with your work, and am very grateful that you&#039;ve shared this experience with us.]]></description>
