I think that a lot of grief has to do with not enough time.
obviously, not enough time with loved ones … but also not enough time to do all the things in life that would ease this grief so many feel.
not enough time to create the life and family you want, not enough time to see and explore the world, not enough time to write the novel with your mate pressing you forward, not enough time to become a famous artist cheered on by loved ones …
I think if we had more time to create the life we wanted, a lot of grief would subside. Apropos of nothing …
