Some sharing
Yesterday we buried my brother-in-law. I put it bluntly because I'm still working out my own feelings, while working hard to be the support my wife needs.
Having been through grieving a number of times, including when my mother passed and ending up in therapy for 13 months, I have a good grip on it. It will just take time, and I know that I have to give myself that time.
To my friends who are going through similar processes: do not take my silence with you as avoidance or detachment. Each of you is in my thoughts, and if you need even the slightest thing from me, you have but to ask.
How we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life. Go forward, and know that you will have a companion on your path should you need or want one.
Shared pain is lessened,
shared joy increased.
Thus we refute entropy.
