The days after my son died.
I knew the blinding grief that only a human can know, and it somehow connected me to every person ever on the planet who'd lost someone they loved.
And I felt the depth of love I had for my son, probably more than I'd ever really felt it before.
I also felt the frustration and pain of the medical people who'd been trying to save him for several years, and their connection to me. His doc was there just after he died, and we held each other for quite a while.
And then I felt the love of those who came to be with me, and their grief, freshly awakened, for those whom they had lost.
But mostly I felt others' pain *for me.* Even strangers wanted to comfort me. And that is what makes us human, that we have the capacity to care about a stranger, even if we don't often do it.

I felt the most "human", and alive, the day I was granted a divorce. I hadn't felt human, or myself in 25 years up until then. All my adult life I had been this shell of a person, until I was finally free to be just "ME"! Martin Luther King said it best!"Free At Last!"
