People have filled an enormously important role in my life - more than books! For me, it's not the formal advising or the therapy that meant so much.

When someone you love dies, and you're not expecting it, you don't lose her all at once; you lose her in pieces over a long time—the way the mail stops coming, and her scent fades from the pillows and even from the clothes in her closet and drawers.
