Grief

Watched the movie "First Man" on November 12, 2018.  The ending made me cry.  As Neil Armstrong released the bracelet of his daughter, Karen, into the depths of the moon crater, I was struck by how much it reminded me of what grief really feels like.  Grief feels like falling backward, spinning in the darkness.  To feel it means you aren't sure you'll ever stop falling or spinning.  To go through it means you have to test whether both are possible.
