I meant it more as a life-affirming kind of thing. But I have seen Wit and I think I'm the only one but I found it really dull. And thanks. Hm, apparently this was more of a downer than I thought.

Her professor says something to the effect of "death is merely a comma, a pause between life and the afterlife". This struck me harder than any other comment or discussion of life and death ever did before. So now when I am sad about death or dying, I try to remember that, no matter how sad it makes us, it is but a pause. That is just what hit me after I read your post. I am so sorry you have to go through this Bec.

"In the midst of life we are in death." I know it isn't "our Book," but sometimes you have to hand it to those upstarts, they do know how to turn a phrase. Knowing it's out there and having it strike close at least gives us the chance to assess our lives and forces us to remember that we are only given so much time to make something of them. I am sorry that your year had to begin in sadness.
