"Grief ebbs but grief never ends. Death ends a life but death does not end a relationship. If we allow ourselves to be still and if we take responsibility for our grief, the grief becomes as polished and luminous and mysterious as death itself. When it does, we learn to love anew, not only the one who has died. We learn to love anew those who yet live." --Julius Lester
I wanted a living memory not the image of my son in a casket. Almost seven years later I have no recall of how he looked in our last face to face conversation. Just that image I never wanted but can't forget.
