In 2015, three years after Chris died, his partner was diagnosed with ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Like me, she is smart, sensitive, independent, able to do a million things at once or nothing at all. Like me, she is listening to you but scanning the room because her brain is taking in everything at once. Shit, I thought, if she has it, I must have it too?

NIKKI REIMER (she/they) is a multimedia artist and writer, and chronically ill neurodivergent prairie settler currently living in Calgary / Mohkinstsis. She has been involved with art and writing communities, primarily in Calgary and Vancouver, for over 20 years. They are the author of three books of poetry and multiple essays on grief. GRIEFWAVE, a multimedia, web-based, extended elegy, was published in February 2022. Visit reimerwrites.com.
