Wow that was really a painful thing to read. You can really write -- I read it twice.

I’m sorry for your loss which sounds lame but I’m sincere.

Thanks I can't stand to re-read it myself, and only getting around to comments now, but I appreciate the time you took to read my essay and share your thoughts. Saying you're sorry for my loss *is* lame, because there isn't anything un-lame to say...!? Or if you've figured it out, please let me know bc I'm out here saying the same dumb shit to other people when they're grieving lmaooo. It's an oddly insoluble problem, isn't it. Perhaps there needs to be a certain hand signal or gang sign for the un-say-able commiseration...

I understand and fully receive the enormity of this compliment. Thank you.
