00:00I need a leave of absence to grieve.
00:03Oh, no, who died?
00:05My mom.
00:07I am so sorry.
00:08When's the funeral?
00:10Um, three years ago?
00:13No.
00:14Life is honestly so dumb.
00:16Like, we're all just here for this uncertain amount of time.
00:20Who designed this? It's terrible.
00:22She died in her 60s.
00:24That gives me, what, 25 years?
00:26Or you could not die of cancer
00:28and just live a long, happy life.
00:30Mom, what are you doing here?
00:32Hello, darling.
00:33Now is really not a good time for me.
00:35She's visiting me, talking to me.
00:38I'm going to be a person who wears red lipstick now.
00:41It's coral.
00:43It's literally called red hot.
00:44I love your lipstick.
00:47Yeah, I love a good coral lip.
00:50I want to get to the end of grieving.
00:52I do, but it's all I have left of her.
00:54It's my only tether to her.
00:57I come all this way from the great beyond
00:58to visit with my only daughter,
01:00and this is how she treats me.
01:01And you wonder how I got cancer.
01:03Did the rabbi really say I was a woman of valor?
01:06I'm sorry. We asked him not to.
01:08I don't think I can be a mom
01:09until I make peace with my mom.
01:11I could never wear it.
01:13It was always too big on my hips,
01:14but you fill it out.
01:16This is for dying before we even had a chance
01:18to like each other!
01:20If I get to the end of mourning, then what?
01:23She's just gone?
01:26You're weird and sad.
01:29Yes!
01:32I am sad, and I just wish
01:34everyone would let me be sad.
01:36Maybe I'll always be sad.
01:38You gotta live your own life, Em.
01:40She's not here.
01:41Ow!
01:42I just keep trying to do things to feel different,
01:45but I don't.
01:46I just want to be happy.
01:47Who's happy?
01:48What makes you so special?
01:49You think I was happy?
01:51Do you know what I did when my mother died?
01:53I made dinner.
01:55You know, my cancer was very rare.
01:57Only 200 people got it a year, the doctor said.
01:59It was very top shelf illness.
02:01Not like your UTI.
02:03No!
