Five years later, in the last months and days of his adoptive father’s battle with terminal cancer, Cohen sees it as a metaphor for the life-altering secret buried between them. Then, widowed at thirty-two, when his husband is lost in a high-rise fire, Cohen struggles to make sense of a world that takes more than it gives. This lyric field journal from the fraught borderlands of sexuality, home, family, grief, and faith asks: in the land of capitalism, who determines our worth? What precisely is the value of grief? And how do we invest in each other when futures are uncertain?Item The Way of My Healing ...

At greater length, I share the experiential foundation—stories of the most consequential trauma cases I was involved in, the patients involved, their families, and my family—upon which the whole of my memoir (including my lapse into PTSD, my crisis of faith, and my journey toward healing) will stand.
