Do Not Disturb

Your ability to intentionally block out the world when needed. Used for recovery, focus, or boundary-setting.

Do Not Disturb shows how Deborah had protected herself from the grief of Jerry's death. For eight decades, she kept that entire emotional territory on Do Not Disturb - no access, no interruptions, completely blocked off. Her daughter described her 'powerful ability to flip the switch' and put painful things away. But at 101, she finally switched Do Not Disturb off and made herself available to those buried feelings. The shift meant she could no longer block out the love and pain - it all came rushing in.
