For instance, last night at bath time, in imitation of Mom’s continual Lysol-wiping of surfaces, my son grabbed a plain baby wipe and attempted to clean the handle of the tub.

Even as an adult, it’s difficult to know how to make sense of and handle the current events that have changed everything overnight. Watching my child navigate the task is only exacerbating my grief.
