Missing is the best part of grief, the sanest part.
I was reading a review of a book by Julian Barnes about the death of his wife, and of his grief.
I liked this.....
"When we killed - or exiled- God, we also killed ourselves.......No God, no afterlife, no us. We were right to kill Him, of course, this long standing imaginary friend of ours. We weren't going to get an afterlife anyway. But we sawed off the branch we were sitting on. And the view from there, from that height - even if it was only the illusion of a view - wasn't so bad."
