#i didn't include them but colbert's interviews with biden and anderson cooper are also worth watching in this vein

the grief manual:

- louis l'amour: "all loose things seem to drift down to the sea, and so did i." i think that one day i will write that in the sand and watch the water wash it away and maybe that's the secret magic spell

- buffy's the body. anya's speech, "i was having fruit punch and i thought: joyce will never have any more fruit punch, ever. and she'll never have eggs, or yawn, or brush her hair, not ever - and no one will explain to me why." tara's comment that it's always sudden, even if you know it's coming. buffy's comment that she's never done this before - this grieving a parent

- gandalf, or olorin, who was a disciple of nienna, a valar whose power was to weep forever. her power is to turn grief into wisdom

- mary oliver

- cristina yang and her introduction to the dead dad's club. "i don't know how to exist in the world where my dad doesn't. " "yeah, that never really changes."

- kurt vonnegut

#this is disjointed but that's appropriate #idk this is a rather personal collection but seeing the way people are reacting to the andrew garfield interview made me think of #all these things #i didn't include them but colbert's interviews with biden and anderson cooper are also worth watching in this vein #em.txt #grief tw #death tw #also didn't include but is worth it is of course wild by cheryl strayed #and finally. 'the grief manual' is a phrase on my mind because i listened to s-town and that's what john b called brokeback mountain #parallels #on love
