When a beloved of yours leaves the Earth, friends give you comfort, but it comforts you not. You want your beloved returned as before. Through the blur of your tears, there is some appreciation for your friends' words, but the one comfort you want is not given to you. No one will even give you hope that your loved one will appear in the flesh even if only once more, even if only for a moment. There is an irrefutable law of no return. There are no maybes about it.
