Living in the House Where My Daughter Died is Harder Than Leaving It
Written by Taryn Jarboe, RN
I’ve been begging the Universe to send our family a door since our daughter June died from neuroblastoma in March of 2022. A door? Yes, you know, the generic kind with a knob you turn and it opens. A door we might collectively, as a family, open together.
I can imagine it opens to possibility. If I had a choice, it would open to the promise of a fresh start. I wouldn’t have to walk through it yet for it to bring me contentment in my present life. Just knowing it exists and that there’s life on the other side would be enough, for now.
