It’s been 3 years since I heard your voice. I barely recognize myself here. Living without you feels like I’ve lost a limb. Or all of them. 3 years. How will I carry on, for maybe another 30 or 40? I must, but how? Being separated from you is hell. Why did you have to go?

When someone dies, everyone comes all at once, during the first few numb weeks. Bringing too much food no one can eat. By the time the shock starts wearing off, and the worst pain sets in, you’re mostly alone and staring into an empty fridge. 99 percent of them have moved on.

The hardest thing is witnessing Nate’s grief. They were less than 2 years apart. He had never known the world without Molly in it. He didn’t even get to say goodbye. It’s not fair. But, alas, life rarely is. Molly, I wish you could back to us. We are not ok without you.

I walked outside and screamed into a pillow tonight; something I haven’t done since the early weeks after Molly died. Grief is not linear. The pain is as raw as it ever was. Time doesn’t exist in our grief world. Or, if does, it’s all messed up. We can’t make sense of it.

Tomorrow’s the anniversary of the accident. 2 years since I heard your voice. Saw your smile. My body refuses sleep. The pain is acute. Every cell is aflame. I never stop searching for you. Where have you gone, my love? I am adrift. Here but not here without you. #TEAMMOLLY

Parents, don’t sweat the small stuff. It’s actually ALL small. Hold your babies, no matter their age. Accept them. Enjoy them. Love them. Treat everyday together like the miracle it is. #TEAMMOLLY

I don’t know if anyone can see me. I think I’m in jail for following back too many people? I don’t understand Twitter 🤷‍♀️

I’d be doing a disservice to anyone who follows me if I didn’t show you these moments. One minute you’re laughing over lattes with your best friend. The next, a wave of grief knocks the wind out of you.

This guy 😍. When I picked him up at school, the first thing he said was, “Mommy, you look beautiful today.” So, I took him out for ice cream 😋.

Dr. Wang said if she were an adult, it would be a very grim prognosis. But he said that kids are different. We are praying for a miracle. Please pray with all your hearts and share this with everyone you know.

It’s unbearable not having Molly here for Hanukkah. She loved this holiday. It hurts so fucking much. How does a person live with this much heartache? We do our best every day. But, my Gd, it’s brutal. I just want my baby to come home and she can’t. #TEAMMOLLY

Molly used to come up behind me and tap me on the shoulder. Not softly. It always startled me. Last night, I felt someone tap me on the shoulder, like shaking me awake. I sat up, expecting to see Nate. There was only Jon, fast asleep, facing the other direction. #TEAMMOLLY

I can’t remember where we were. It must’ve been shortly after cancer treatment. I’m desperate to hold on to memories that are fading. I will never forget the feeling of you, my love. Your laugh. Your essence. And I will know you when we joyfully meet again. #TEAMMOLLY

14 years ago today, Jon and I were blessed to become parents for the first time. We couldn’t have envisioned the joy and losses that would unfold. I wasn’t prepared for the visceral pain today would bring. I feel the loss of our physical connection in every cell - A🧵. #TEAMMOLLY

On the last night of shiva, our community came together for a candlelit walk under a full moon. We share this light with everyone who is grieving. We are deeply touched by the charitable donations and acts of kindness that have been inspired by Molly. #HonorMolly #TEAMMOLLY

Waiting for my oncologist to come in for my regular check up. It never gets easier. It will be 5 years this month since my breast cancer dx. Being at UCLA Medical is more triggering since Molly’s accident. Ugh. Send good thoughts my way, please! #TEAMMOLLY

It’s my 5 year cancerversary ya’ll. It feels like yesterday and several lifetimes ago that I was diagnosed with breast cancer. You’re counted as a survivor after 5 yrs. I never accepted that BS. I considered myself a survivor from Day 1. Today, it’s official. #TEAMMOLLY

I’m screaming into the void again. I need my child. My GIRL. How can our extraordinary, beautiful daughter be dead? How can the world be so fucked up for so many of us? May I channel this RAGE into purpose. Power. May I harness this powerful energy into a force for change 🙏.

I was thinking about how Molly still needs me to be her mom. To reassure her. That I’m ok. We’re ok. I know she misses me as much as I miss her. Today I remembered to comfort my sweet girl. Everything’s different, but nothing - not even death - can separate us. I love you, Molly.

An older woman came up to me at the theatre last night and asked to give me a hug. She quietly said, “I lost two.” It struck me that we, who have suffered the most soul crushing loss, often carry it inside, alone. People “can’t imagine” being in our shoes nor do they want to try.

I need to know there are people who have had this setback after a traumatic brain injury - swelling necessitated removing part of the patient’s skull and leaving it off for weeks - and were still ok. Please RT. We are at a very low and scary moment.

Sometimes I wonder why my life has been so painful. Childhood abuse. Cancer. The death of our beloved Molly. My parents, who can’t be part of our lives because they inevitably hurt us. I’m meant to remind others to persevere. Surrender. Keep going and evolving 🙏. #TEAMMOLLY

While he was growing inside me, cancerous cells were also multiplying. We’ve been through HARD times during his entire life but Eli is pure love and light. On his 6th birthday today, and every day, we thank G-d for blessing us with this child. We love you, Eli William.

Sweet Nate. I hate the sadness in his eyes. Still as beautiful as ever, but now expressing deep soul wounds. I know the light will someday return. Until then, my heart hurts.

Despite the immense challenges, our prayers have been answered again and again. I place one hand on Molly’s heart and one on her temple. I tell her about all the love, light and prayers being sent to her. I will the healing energy to travel through my hands and into my girl.

This is excruciating to write. Molly suffered severe swelling in her brain today. The doctors removed two pieces of her skull. We don’t know if this will work. We don’t know the extent of the damage caused by today’s event. Medically speaking, there is nothing else they can do.

I’m in bad shape, friends 😫. Guessing food poisoning or flu (I had my flu shot). Covid neg. I haven’t been able to keep down a sip of water since yesterday. I feel worse than during chemo! And I have major surgery on 11/11. All prayers/good vibes would be appreciated! #TEAMMOLLY

Grief sucks. Especially as parents feeling our own raw pain, while helping Nate and Eli grapple with the loss of their big sister. But we only get to live this day once. We honor Molly by choosing life and love. She goes everywhere we go. #TEAMMOLLY
