My heart is heavy  today for my daughter and her partner. Together, as a team they took care of Marta’s mother who died last week in a hospital in Hungary. They both did hard labor, one holding space for the other. One in one country, the other in another. Their resources depleted. They are in need. And I can’t help thinking about my husband’s daughter, estranged from her father for six years now. I type the word estranged but the word shunned is a better fit. She shunned him
