Poor Georgia O'Keeffe. Death didn't soften the opinions of the art world toward her paintings.

And yet, I suppose you mourn the loss or the death of what you thought your life was, even if you find your life is better after. You mourn the future that you thought you'd planned.

Death is the veil which those who live call life They sleep, and it is lifted.

Death is an absolute marvel.

We live in grief for having left the womb, for having left the teat, then school, then home. In my case, it was leaving marriages, and the death of my wife.
