“Death is a shift of focus. There is no loss; no one disappears. The people who are important to you are like constellations of stars in the night sky. What you see shifts depending on your vantage point. It doesn’t mean that the stars you can’t see have disappeared. We each exist this way to each other, flickering in and out. Death is but another flicker. The constellation remains—the relationships, which are, ultimately, a kind of love.”
