- When my sister died of cancer, I struggled with my grief.
- I turned to wellness hacks like cold plunges to try and move past the loss, but that didn't help.
- I then optimized my life at work, and I finally felt a sense of agency again.
I'm standing in the corner of the only unoccupied room in Sunnybrook Hospital's emergency center in Toronto, making a phone call. I'm about to say the hardest sentences of my life.
