Kate Nelson Wrote A Personal Essay About Grieving Her Two Dads

For The Cut, Kate Nelson wrote about what it’s like to mourn the loss of both her dad and her birth father.

Nelson writes, “That’s the thing about grief: It’s slithery and inescapable. It snakes its way around your memories and embeds itself in your senses. It sneaks up on you in unexpected, inconvenient moments, like when you’re at the grocery store and a certain song comes across the speakers or a specific scent wafts past your nose while you’re walking down the street.”
