Many thank yous.

I have just gone back and replied in a formulaic way to the comments of sympathy over the past six months. I couldn't reply at the time. Somehow accepting sympathy then implied that I approved of what had happened. "Approved" is too strong a word, but something like "accepted in a tolerant spirit" doesn't have its own word yet. Accepting sympathy felt like I agreed to be complicit in Lorne's death.

I *appreciated* the sympathy immediately, and I am sorry that my new reply is cut and paste for accepting the sympathy, but there isn't anything more to say about it than "Thank you." Well, okay, there is, but I'm not ready.

But still: Thank you.

Grieving is a process, and a long one. Do whatever you need to get you through the day, one day at a time.
