“I have lived 30 years in these 30 days. I am 30 years sadder. I feel like I am 30 years wiser.”
Wednesday marks 30 days since the burial of Dave Goldberg, SurveyMonkey CEO and husband of Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, the author of Lean In.
Sheryl Sandberg and Dave Goldberg.
Goldberg died May 1 after suffering severe head trauma during a gym accident while on holiday in Mexico.
To mark the end of sheloshim, the 30-day period of Jewish mourning, Sandberg shared a devastating, yet hauntingly beautiful, update on her journey through grief.
"You can give in to the void, the emptiness that fills your heart, your lungs, constricts your ability to think or even breathe. Or you can try to find meaning. These past thirty days, I have spent many of my moments lost in that void. And I know that many future moments will be consumed by the vast emptiness as well.
"But when I can, I want to choose life and meaning."
