I heard this quite in a film about an airplane crash and I've been carrying it with me for a long time.
I think it is a poignant snapshot of what so many of us feel when we lose a loved one. So this is for VR's dad, for Exer's girlfriend, for KindleWorm's grandbaby, for all:
Quote:
The rage did not begin when you died.
It was always there, I just never noticed it there,
in the deepest caverns of my heart
until you were gone.
Love is not deeper than rage, only more necessary.
Give me the strength to bear the pain
until the rage to love overwhelms all other rages.
