John Muir and Grief

The death of someone we love changes our life and unveils the frailty of existence. When we sit down with grief and look back, we realize that change has been continuous over the years. We are not who we were ten years ago or who we were as a teenager.

John Muir said, “Creation was not an act, it is a process, and it is going on today as much as it ever was.” Grief reminds us of this.

John Muir’s birthday is today. 

His wife, Louie, died eight years before he did, and he was nine years older, so her death was unexpected, as if death is ever expected.
