The pain is so severe. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The pain is so severe.I’m writing to you from a hotel room adjacent to my hometown, where I flew across the continent just yesterday to visit my ailing grandmother.My maternal grandmother. My matriarch. The woman who I just spent five minutes writing and deleting sentences about in attempt to paint a picture of her life to you, because no stringing together of words can describe her extraordinary existence.She’s dying, and my kids just began living.My grandma doesn’t have a presence on the inter

I’m sitting at a coffee shop banging away on my tired keyboard faster than I’d care to admit. Fast because I’ve got an hour to write while a loving, radiant 23-year-old woman (who I met at said coffee shop) is playing with my kids while I work. Fast because I’m not rich enough to go slow.My husband is home with them, hiding in our bedroom on a work call, trying desperately to pay attention.Attention.I wonder if we’re all so tired and strapped because our attention is no longer our own.

I’ll call her Susan, though she is also every third message in my inbox, so it’s possible she is you.At one point she could’ve been me. She is so many of us, upstream without a paddle, trying desperately to stay afloat in a culture devoid of structural support and virtually any reverence for motherhood.The class I’ve been blabbing on about endlessly on IG, Susan said, sounded like exactly what she
Why Aren't We Asking What Nighttime Separation Does to Mothers? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I want to paint you a picture, but my hand hesitates before I pick up my instrument of choice, because the picture is painful.A trigger warning might be warranted, but then again, what I’m about to say is so normalized in the West that it would be akin to adding a disclaimer to a cup of coffee.It’s 2026, and I’m writing to you from America, where (for the last ~200 years) we’ve normalized a practice called sleep training. The basic premise is derived from behaviorism, and seeks to stop a baby’s
