Robert Grossmark invites us to interrogate the implications and meanings of home for us and for our patients. We carry home with us across time. Our connection to home can be grounding; it creates a sense of continuity, sometimes nostalgia and longing. But when home was less a place of comfort and grounding than of trauma, remembrances threaten to destabilize us. Grossmark illustrates this in a narrative about his patient and their relationship. That narrative stimulated my own remembrances, which I describe and illustrate. We need to find ways to remember, even mourn the loss of home and to move beyond it.
