What are my options?

However I approach it this dead refrigerator is going to be a big deal. I have two choices - repair this one or replace it with a new one. Rebuilt cooling coils are available online for around $500.00. A new refrigerator online runs around $1,000 - $1,300 plus shipping.

Finding the Words to Fit It

There is an idea current in the prevailing culture that writing about something that pains you heals the pain. I was not, when I began writing my life story, and am not now, healed of my mother. But you do gain a small distance from anything by keeping it in suspension in your mind while you work at finding the words to fit it. The process is so slow and incremental that you don't notice its effect, but the point is that it is a process.
