(Washington Post illustration; iStock)Our older son, Andrew Bauer, died mysteriously on Nov. 4, 2016. Our younger son, Max — who had been closer to Andrew than anyone — moved back in with us, so shattered he could barely speak. We need to turn our anger into something positive rather than letting it leak into nearly every interaction, poisoning our ability to create anything new. I think back to that group who gathered in our living room on and off for weeks after Andrew died. slow to think, slow to speak, slow to anger.
