1 August 2003The grief processThanks to everyone who offered kind words while I wrestled with the reality of my sister's death. I've put together a few thoughts, though I've decided that they would fit better in the Vent area than here; you can read them at Vent #351. I'm all right. A little tearful, maybe, and filled with the sort of regret that comes with knowing that none of us were there for her last moments (no greater fear have I than to die alone, unnoticed and unmourned), but I'm all right. And to correct the earlier item: apparently some sort of service was held after all. Thank you. I called my sister today just to say hello. It was a nice visit.
