Journals for memory

Some of the hardest losses after a fire are the ones that can’t be claimed: the photographs, the children’s drawings, the recipe in a grandmother’s handwriting. Grief for these can arrive late, after the practical work has settled, and it deserves the same patience as any other grief.

Some of it can be recovered. Friends and relatives often have copies of photos you thought were gone. The stories a house held can be written down before they fade. And the parts of you that lived in that house, the milestones and the traditions and the private jokes, were never in the building at all.
