Today (for some) it is Lazarus' feast day. In Classical Antiquity, returning dead were often forbidden to talk about Hades (see Eurydice). In the carols Lazarus asks for water and requests not to be asked about what he saw, elsewhere he barely speaks in his remaining life.

I didn’t share this because I was waiting for American Academy of Arts & Sciences to realize their mistake. I am astonished and humbled by this enormous honor.

I am so sorry for your loss. Please take the time you need for yourself. I returned to grad school a week after my mother's death to teach. I needed the money and the health insurance. I would not encourage anyone to do this. We need to normalize this.
