Record keeping

Friday, 1 October, just after 4:30 AM my beloved, Janiene, breathed her last. She was at home and I was holding her hand through it all.

Grief is episodic, not persistent. As a relative pointed out (with uncharacteristic insight), it could be that I mourned parts of Janiene over time, as she got sicker and her world smaller. I still weep, but when the grief pierces me it's a minute or three, and then I'm back to... whatever my current base state is.
