Just wanted to poke my head in and let you know that there are more sympathetic eyeballs paying heed.
Also? I really liked this bit:
"I've always held that grief is the flip side of love and respect, the heart's way of honoring the loss of someone dear. You might say that love and grief exert complementary shaping forces on our emotional geology: volcanic heat making new ground vs. wind and water eroding it away. You have to accept the possibility/inevitability of grief in order to fully experience love and connection with others."
