HEALING:
"We should learn not to grow
impatient with the slow healing process of time. We should discipline
ourselves to recognize that there are many steps to be taken along
the highway leading from sorrow to renewed serenity... We should anticipate
these stages in our emotional convalescence: unbearable pain, poignant
grief, empty days, resistance to consolation, disinterestedness in
life, gradually giving way...to a new weaving of a pattern of action
and the acceptance of the irresistible challenge of life."
