This is so wonderful! I love the dialog format and there is such a poetic quality to this. People can say awful things trying to comfort those grieving a loss. I know someone who lost her daughter due to illness. She hated it when people would aske her "How are you doing?" She always thought, "my daughter is dead, how the #### do you think I'm doing?" Another in your truly great series of entries. I love your writing and always look forward to your entry. I know I'll be astonished.
