"Death alters the reality of our lives;
the death of an intimate changes it completely.
No part of life,
from my most ethereal notions of God
to the most mundane detail of tooth brushing,
was the same after Drew died.
Life consisted on one rending novelty after another,
as anyone who has lost a spouse can attest."
-Kate Braestrup from Here if You Need Me
