Bit of a general intro to my reply but: I am genuinely refreshed at a lot of the threads and replies , not least this thread.
I've not seen the quote re the 'physicist at the funeral' before ( it's a bit long to quote in a reply) : it was a great read and struck a chord , though I'm not too hot on physics, I did 'get it' - not some of the terms tho. I guess that was the point , about how it made me feel: a feeling of warmth is often synonymous with 'comfort' and 'love' . I could identify with this far more than all the religious brainwashing 'come and join us when you're weak' tosh!!!
Memories are important : make memories for now and later and live for now ...yes raise a glass if that's your bag .
I'm really sorry for your loss : it will get easier with time , hold the warmth ;-) x
