Def Marie,

You have expressed the moment of being alone in your grief so achingly beautifully. Yes, you bear it. And it is unbearable. How do we manage?

There is a poem by e.e. cummings called “i carry your heart with me” that really helped me through the period of my intense grief.

Sincerely,
Melinda

You portray this honestly and accurately, that quiet period when everyone else, except you revert to “ normal lives.”

I think "bear it" says is all, says it perfectly.
