Comment to Evan:
I AM SO UPSET I MISSED THIS !!! HONESTLY THIS IS THE ONLY CLASS I WISH I COULD GOT TO SCHOOL FOR !!! GRRRRRR !!! you stated "search the deepest, most painful realms of my thoughts" I have been doing this alone recentley and I feel it has been helping me but it is hard, what were some of the questions asked? I do think that you could have strengthened the point your were making by expanding upon how this made you more acceptant and stronger in the situation. Overall great job !

Comment to Casey:
"She grieved, but accepted that he died. I think that there is something almost sweet about pain, because even though pain is an effect of loss, something was there before it was lost. We cannot grieve the loss of something that never was, unless we experienced that something in the first place, or have some inkling of what is missing."

I think this is so beautifully written, and so true. Their is a certain bliss in pain, but only when embraced and excepted not when fought. I also think if we don't feel these losses we can never value having.

The only suggestion I could provide is tying this back to the dominant social practice and thinking of what in all of this normality is weird ?

I also would like to commened you on the fact that I now have a good sense of what Beth's visit was like even though I was absent!
