Seven Years After My Daughter’s Funeral, I Followed Her Husband to a Rehabilitation Center—And Saw a Woman I Thought Was Dead
But I could stop demanding complete answers before allowing my family to live in the present.

Ava’s money was being restored.

That was enough to begin again.

The visit had been arranged within her care plan.
