Learn more@aclu.org Here's a question that occurred to me while I was sitting next to Rachel in her brother's car driving around Santa Ana, California.
Are you kind of hiding out here?
Yeah, absolutely.
I've been hiding out here for a while.
She'd been in California for a few weeks when I got here.
Her plan had been to start clearing out the house where her father and brother had lived.
But when she got to the house, she couldn't stand being in it.
So she fled up to Northern California.
She wanted to be alone.
Did that for a few days.
That was awful.
Then she met up with friends.
That was better.
Rachel's been talking by phone and text and FaceTime with her teenage kids every day while she's here.
But by the time we were driving around together, she hadn't been home to her family in Rochester, New York for a while.
Grief somehow maintains a public image of mainly sadness, fragility.
