I don't support Kubler-Ross's 5 stages of grieving, but I do like your posting (I don't believe in putting people into classifications). You may be that girl as you stated, but you are also a loving, caring, wise individual who has grown through that loss. I am sorry for your loss too. Words cannot really comfort. That has to be the most eloquent quote about death that I have heard in a long, long time. Thank you. I will keep it close.

I don't agree with the five stages either. We all grieve in our own way, at our own pace and we grieve each loss differently. But I do love this quote about death and it's been long enough since my mom died for me to know how true it is.
