Losing my parents really set me adrift in more ways than one. It's not just losing them. It's losing the possibility of family.
Some women lose their husbands, and their worlds change because their financial circumstances change. All I have in common with them is a grief.
Even if I have a home in Paris and sometimes in New York, whenever I was saying I have to go home, it was going to my mother.
