When Life Forces You to Start Over
Have you ever stood at the precipice of complete reinvention, not by choice but by necessity? Catherine Goldhammer found herself there-facing divorce, financial uncertainty, and the daunting task of uprooting her life and her daughter's. "Still Life with Chickens" isn't just about moving houses; it's about rebuilding an identity when the old one crumbles. The urgency wasn't merely emotional but brutally practical-packing boxes while trying to envision a future that looked nothing like the past. What makes this journey so compelling is its messy authenticity. There's something profoundly disorienting about dismantling the familiar while having only the vaguest outline of what comes next. Catherine navigates this terrain with her daughter beside her, both processing their own versions of loss and possibility. The practical challenges-finding affordable housing, managing suddenly limited finances, deciding what possessions deserve space in their new life-intertwine with deeper questions about identity and belonging. Throughout this upheaval, Catherine maintains surprisingly amicable ties with her ex-husband, adding nuance to a narrative that could easily slip into bitterness. There are no villains here-just two people who couldn't continue together, trying to minimize the damage to themselves and their child. This sense of displacement-of being untethered from your own life-permeates the early chapters, yet within this very untethering lies the seed of reinvention.
