In her reflective piece from "Memorial Days," Geraldine Brooks recounts the heart-wrenching moment she learned of her husband Tony Horwitz's sudden death. Through a series of distressing conversations, she grapples with disbelief and the reality of loss, confronting the unbearable notion that her vibrant partner is gone. The emotional turmoil is palpable, illustrating the disorientation that accompanies grief as she navigates the painful process of accepting his absence amidst the chaos of shock and sorrow.
"I need to see him. Where will he be when I get there?... It. A body. She means Tony."
"Not Tony. Not him. Not my husband out on the road energetically promoting his new book... He cannot possibly be dead."
