For Women, the Death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg Brings a Particular Grief
WASHINGTON — In Waco, Texas, Lily Coffman, 15, donned her handmade “R.B.G.” coronavirus mask and “dissent collar” earrings on Saturday night and joined a small crowd of mostly mothers and daughters in a candlelight vigil at the county courthouse. There, they held an 87-second moment of silence — a second for each year of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s life.
In Denver, Sheena Kadi, 38, who describes herself as a “queer Arab millennial woman,” was making chicken soup on Friday night when she learned of the justice’s death. “I walked over to my desk, lit my R.B.G. candle, opened a bottle of Barolo and cried,” she said.
In Danbury, Conn., Bonnie Rubenstein Wunsch, 59, was helping to run her synagogue’s Rosh Hashana service over Zoom on Friday night when she heard the news. She has been comforted, she said, by a post circulating on social media: In the Jewish tradition, someone who dies on the holiday is considered a “tzaddik” — a righteous person.
For these women and so many others around the country, the loss of Justice Ginsburg brought on a very particular kind of grief. It was not the grief of liberals agonizing over President Trump’s pronouncement that he intended to quickly fill the justice’s seat and the possibility of long-term conservative domination of the Supreme Court, though there was plenty of that.

It's like someone near and dear to me has passed from my life. She was there for so many years and she was so wise and so wonderful. It's like losing a good friend who always gave the best advice.
There is never be another RBG. 
I've sat here and cried, or sat here and felt numb for the past few days. At midnight last night I went out and put this in front of my house. It was the only thing I could think to do. I took a picture of it this morning.
I'm 64 years old. I think of the things this wonderful woman has done to make my life better, let alone the lives of all the other women in this country. We've lost a giant. 
For RBG.
And for us and our country.
