»I've felt pain. So much pain. I've felt hope, I've felt release. I've felt love. I've felt rage. Death made me feel everything. I feel like death has been my most important teacher. It has taught me not just about how I feel, but about how others feel.
I appreciate it. It's grounding. It makes me reflect.
It makes me compassionate.
and in the end
It makes me human.
Death is the epitome of the human condition.«
