ALONE WITH ONE’S
GRIEF
As much as the funeral and the observation of a mourning period are intended to allay one’s grief after the death of a loved one, ultimately we each confront our grief alone. Nowhere is this reality more starkly portrayed than in the words of Antoine de SaintExupery: “On a day of a burial there is no perspective-for space itself is annihilated. Your dead friend is still a fragmentary being. The day you bury him is a day of chores and crowds, of hands false or true to be shaken, of the immediate cares of mourning. The dead friend will not really die until tomorrow, when silence is round you again. Then he will show himself complete, as he was - to tear himself away, as he was, from the substantial you. Only then will you cry out because of him who is leaving and whom you cannot detain.”
