Thus far, of everyone I have lost—grandparents, aunts, uncles, several cousins, father-in-law—none have led to grief. I have cried tears at a few of the funerals, especially that of my father-in-law, because he was so loved by those around me and the pain was visceral. But I've yet to experience the profound loss of a loved one to invisibility (I have lost loved ones in other ways).
Thank you, Kert, for so eloquently examining the state, for both honoring your father and providing others with a chance to understand what it is like to love someone and watch them re-manifest in a new form, one that is, let's face it, pretty hard to understand and accept.
