Grief is love turned into an eternal missing
Surely a good therapist should produce a Dorian Gray-style portrait from under the couch so the patient can see the person they really are.
But grief is the ultimate unrequited love. However hard and long we love someone who has died, they can never love us back. At least that is how it feels.

I don't believe in aliens. I don't think aliens or ghosts like black people. We never get abducted; our houses never get haunted. It always happens in rural areas, where no ethnic people live.

I like women. I love women.
