'Hamlet' is a play about a man whose grief is deemed unseemly.

The people we most love do become a physical part of us, ingrained in our synapses, in the pathways where memories are created.

There are many kinds of loss embedded in a loss - the loss of the person, and the loss of the self you got to be with that person. And the seeming loss of the past, which now feels forever out of reach.

Grief is characterized much more by waves of feeling that lessen and reoccur, it's less like stages and more like different states of feeling.

Our minds are mysterious; our conscious brain is like a ship on a sea that is obscure to us.

'Hamlet' is a play about a man whose grief is deemed unseemly.

If the condition of grief is nearly universal, its transactions are exquisitely personal.
