Grief is painful. Thanks for your words (April 9th).
As a palliative care nurse I saw many families racked with pain,
but among it all the majority came together.
Grief can pull people apart or bring them closer.
It really depends on how your family and friends relate.
If it is in silence - think of the portrayal of the Queen, recently seen again on TV.
She is the master of represssed grief.
Or in shared rememberances.
It is in remembering that I find solace.
Your article mirrored a recent interview I read given by Bruce Springsteen.
(in Rolling Stone magazine)
He was talking about the loss of Clarence Clemons.
'Losing Clarence was like losing the rain.
You're losing something that has been so elemental in your life for such a long time.
It was like losing some huge part of your own psychic construction
- suddenly it's gone, everything feels less.
Remembering is also a prayer.
