Think of your own losses. Your mother or grandmother. Your father or favorite uncle. A best friend. A special pet that stayed with you when everyone else was gone.
Life is filled with losses.
The potential for grief is unlimited. And the easiest thing in the world is to give in to that grief. But it doesn t work. For the past won t come back, and refusing to let go will only destroy the present and the future. Paul Newman, who played Garret s salty old seaman father, understood it best.
