Mourning has become unfashionable in the United States. The bereaved are supposed to pull themselves together as quickly as possible and to reweave the torn fabric of life. . . . we do not allow. . . for the weeks and months during which a loss is realized - a beautiful word that suggests the transmutation of the strange into something that is one's own.
It's nice we work in a place where you're allowed to keep coming back to have new experiences together.
