In a lengthy note, Meri Brown addressed the various ways she has learned to cope with the death of loved ones:

“Having lost to death both parents, three siblings, and now one of our boys, I recognize my coping mechanisms. I recognize when I need to go inward and be alone, letting the grief move through me as I cry alone into my pillow."

She continued:

“I recognize when I need to surround myself with my trusted people to gather strength from them. I recognize when I need to attempt, in some small way, a semblance of normalcy. In each step, it takes a little bit of bravery to recognize and give that gift to myself.”
