Living is different from being alive. We come out of loss alive, but we're not living yet. - David Kessler

We must move slowly into the unknown of life after death.

There is no greater gift you can give someone in grief than to ask them about their loved one, and then truly listen. When we see our sorrow in the eyes of another, we know our grief has meaning. We get a glimpse, maybe for the first time since the loss, that we will survive, and a future is possible.

I often wonder what kind of a man he would have become. But I think I got a glimpse of that.
