"i hate it when people candy-coat death. they use words like ‘lost, passed, departed, left.’ you know. ‘we’ve lost her. she passed on. she’s departed now. she left us.’ … did you know that the world ‘left’ is a contranym? it has two meanings that are exactly different from each other. it means both ‘to leave’ and ‘what remains.’ nothing remains, marley. my mom is dead. nothing remains.”
