Because, in grief…[y]ou go to a very dark place… – you are taken to the very limits of suffering. …[T]here is a transformative aspect to this place…. We are essentially altered or remade by it. …[T]his process is terrifying, but…you return to the world with some kind of knowledge…[of] our vulnerability…. Everything seems so fragile and precious and heightened, and the world and the people in it seem so endangered, and yet so beautiful. To me it feels that, in this dark place, the idea of a God feels more present or maybe more essential. It actually feels like grief and God are somehow intertwined. It feels that, in grief, you draw closer to the veil that separates this world from the next.
