When you're dealing with an in-law violation, I think the first line of defense is for the blood relation to have a serious talk.

I can't imagine anything that would signal more clearly that life goes on and joy can follow tragedy than your having a much wanted child.

Sometimes people back themselves into corners where they think they have to make kind of an engraved-in-stone decision.

Sure, people talk about all kinds of stuff at the office, but surely everyone has better things to do than sound like they're auditioning for Fox News.

I'm not suffering from some division of personality.

There are some people who do not have a wild past because being wild would make them terribly self-conscious and uncomfortable.

People who have undergone a loss get a fair amount of leeway on their behavior.
