You mourn, for it is proper to mourn. But your grief serves you you do not become a slave to grief. You bid the dead farewell, and you continue.

I was a normal child. Which is to say, I was selfish and I was not entirely convinced of the existence of things that were not me, and I was certain, rock-solid, unshakeably certain, that I was the most important thing in creation. There was nothing that was more important to me than I was.
