Is there a correct way to feel when someone you love goes away?
...I guess I shouldn't ask that.

Is there a correct thing to do?

I'd suggest not going completely insane. [...she is the most helpful miko]

[leucotomy]

Not completely. I'll try.

[lotuslegend]

Are you happy to settle for a minor level of insanity?

[leucotomy]

I'd like to keep sanity.

"And this too shall pass, my child." Do you know who said that to me, a while ago?

[leucotomy]

I've heard that before...

Who said it?

[lotuslegend]

Admittedly, I've got no clue who said it first, in a historical-quotes kinda way.

But I heard it from the woman I think is my mother. I never saw her again soon after that. I was a little kid, I was upset. But I don't fret over it these days.

So whatever's up with you, you'll get over it. Time is good like that.

[leucotomy]

How much time?

[lotuslegend]

I think it varies from person to person. Size of the loss, importance of the person, the person's individual coping skills and all that crap.

[leucotomy]

It's not crap.

[lotuslegend]

It's a subjective term.

[leucotomy]

Mm. Then... thank you.

[lotuslegend]

Good luck with...whatever your problem is, I suppose.

[leucotomy]

...You couldn't tell what it is?

[lotuslegend]

Well, I get that you lost someone. But I don't know the circumstances.

[leucotomy]

They're not really important to know...
