Another difficult question, the whole religion afterlife debacle. But yes, I do imagine them together, I do imagine that somehow all of us here are linked in incredibly important ways. I have only seen your words, and you have only seen mine, but there are volumes here, so many incredible levels of grief and longing and wonderment at what has happened to us. I dont believe in a benevolent God anymore, I dont know what I believe frankly, but I do think that Henry watches me, some part of him that was un-destroyable remains with me. I do believe that the strongest force that we humans have is love, and the links to our children are love in its most purest form, I believe that is unbreakable.

comfort in idea of afterlife; loss of belief in benevolent God
