It is possible for the darkness of bereavement to be the dark velvet again which the precious diamond can be seen. The diamond I found when Ellis died was the most amazing peace. C.S. Lewis quote from the character in the Silent Planet:
“I realise it’s all rather too vague (for you) to put into words,” … … … “On the contrary, it is words that are vague. The reason why the thing can’t be expressed is that it’s too definite for language.”

Yes, we really need to consider the words we use and not reuse till they lose their meaning.
