Isn't it funny that a perfect stranger could make you feel that way? Sometimes that is compounded by the fact that they are, in fact, a perfect stranger and know nothing about you. They don't have a vested interest in you, most times talking freely. My friends might walk on eggshells around me, or maybe not. But, they might.
She could tell you that she talks to her husband, but not to tell anyone else.
There isn't a person in the world who escapes grief. Sometimes it comes when you are not equipped to handle it and - who am I kidding? There is no handling grief. It is raw and there and will heal when it is ready. There is no expiration date on it.
Have you ever noticed how people grieved differently (in some ways) than they do now? The wives would wear black and go to church every morning, never looking at another man for the rest of their life. That surely was a proclamation of her love... but, is it?
I totally got off track. Sorry.
I recognize that inner fire. You are such a deep soul with thoughts that touch ever so gently but pondered long after. I hope you are enjoying that candle - or two.

He dswigle, it's good to have you back.
I thought about that lady later in the day, the way she opened right up, and I tend to agree with you in that it was because I was a stranger, there were no ties or links, that she felt comfortable. Also, I suppose, sometimes people resonate with others and maybe she felt that?
Grief is a terrible thing and I believe none of us handle it well. But it's maybe not there for us to handle, more just as a way to quickly and spontaneously pour out emotions that the right ones can be found and used? I don't know, maybe it's there to inspire other things that help us move forward.
Thanks for your comment, as always, I enjoy them, and they have meaning.
