Grief too is an addiction. It can take hold of a person's psyche and keep that person back, in chains, controlled by the past and one's own precocious guilt. Sobriety is the act and ultimately state of getting past an addiction, like alcohol -- drugs -- or even grief. Achieving calm and balance in one's life is the art of living while growing. Peace can be the result.
One grows older, or more entrenched, or more open, or more like what a person aspired to rather than achieved. One hardens or softens as one matures. One loses touch or one digs in -- to those relationships one cherishes. Human beings all grow through their experiences differently. Where am I now anyway?
