My experience in life is that grief and pain slowly diminish over time. Kind of like watching a baby grow - you don't notice the difference day to day, but after a month they've grown significantly. Eventually the grief is no longer the first thing we think of when we wake in the morning.

I sure don't notice a difference between yesterday and today. In fact with the news of the package being mailed to NBC, my feelings seemed to intensify.

I'm not sure what is left to say. My advice to people who are feeling this pain is to talk it through with a friend or write your feelings down. We need to process this grief. We need to process the anger. By talking and writing we take a healthy approach towards recovery. If you are having a really hard time, I invite you to send me an email. ( I have somewhat limited computer access and a time zone difference, but I promise to reply immediately upon reading your message.)

Thank you for being you. I look forward to the next time we meet face to face.

Tomorrow I am going to tell you a little about my experiences in Germany.

P.S. Thank you Alisha and Angie for your comments yesterday
