Rebirth

We who watch death in every form are the ones who suffer. It is painful to say goodbye to our spouses, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, friends and most of all, to our children. Our life, like theirs, changes. Our life, unlike theirs, is still focused here. The person who made the transition was part of our habit, our identity, and our relationship with the world around us. When the person no longer exists in that capacity, we suffer a loss of identity. They don’t. We do.
