Uncovering Hidden Truths: Jacque Gorelick’s Journey Through Love, Loss, and Redemption in Map of a Heart
MB: Your structure reminds me of the TV series The Pitt. Each episode is one hour of a shift. Your structure when Ed was in the ICU was similar—every other section was an hour of the time you were in the waiting room. It moved the story along at a fast pace. It felt like you were there forever, but really it just seemed that way. Maybe also because of what you were going through.
JG: I agree with that. To your point, it did feel like a year and you know, you blink your eye and it’s over. Then it’s like, “Whoa, did that even happen?” I wasn’t sleeping. Truly. I had a newborn. He was nursing every two hours. It was all hands on deck with him. I was adjusting to motherhood. That whole thing is hard and a little bit surreal and knocks you off your balance. None of it felt stable.
