Livre d'Or

This seems reasonable advice, thank you. I don't think there's a "right" emotional response to death; I mean, I can probably think of a few wrong ones, but I'm not looking for the magical correct formula here.

When you made your initial comment about not finding illness and death unfair, I didn't form the impression that you were an emotionless robot who doesn't feel sad when people die, and I hope I didn't come across as implying that when I was talking of phlegmatic or acceptance possibilities. Throughout this conversation I've been thinking of sadness without anger, sadness without a sense of betrayal, as potentially very good things.
