The Seat Pocket.
When you’re tired of explaining, start with the card that sounds like your day.
01My first trip without them
Pick one moment you want company for. Text a friend before you leave. “Could I call you when I get to the hotel? That’s the part I’m dreading.”
02I want to hear their name
Borrow this text. “I’ve been missing them today. Would you send me a memory? Even something small or ridiculous would mean a lot.”
03It’s complicated
Ben and I had been divorced for four months when he died. Some days “my ex-husband” feels too small for the person I miss. If all you can say today is their name, you can start there.
