As I dealt with loss, I learned honoring lives was just one more thing we had to do insufficiently and from afar.
One morning in October, I was sitting in the kitchen of my childhood home, which also happens to be my mom’s current office, drinking coffee and doing nothing on my phone. Hidden behind her two laptops and one desktop screen, I could hear some static, muffled Hebrew prayers interrupted by the occasional chime of an incoming email. When she wasn’t typing away, it was unclear if the silence meant she had tuned into the Zoom funeral streaming on one of her screens or was reading one of the many work emails simultaneously flooding her inbox.
