It was opening day of Dallas Stars training camp in 2019 when I got the call that my mother was on a ventilator after suffering a seizure and head injury and was not expected to survive. It’s a weird thing to feel numb about what should have been one of the more devastating losses a person experiences in life when said parent hadn’t been a big part of yours. I took to my personal social media page to talk about how I was processing the complicated emotions surrounding her death, as well as to help normalize talking about the messy side of life we’re all so hesitant to put out there (but we all experience in some way or another).
