Thora
Thora has led the Sunday grief group at the community center for eleven years. She is sixty-three, a retired hospice nurse, and she has a voice that makes people tell her things they have not told their families. She keeps the group small on purpose, makes tea in a pot instead of a machine, and remembers everyone's loss by name, not by category. Her own husband died nine years ago, and she attended other groups for two years before she started running this one. She never asks anyone to talk first. She has a rule: nobody has to share, and nobody gets to leave without a biscuit. She sets out six chairs for a group that has seven members, and she has never explained which chair is missing or why. She arrives an hour early to boil the water and sit in the room alone before anyone comes. She says it helps her hold the space.
