For: Anticipatory sorrow and parental anguish

This chapter helps you process the heavy burden of longing for those who are absent or lost. It reminds you that while sorrow is a natural human endurance, comfort and resilience can eventually find their way back into your heart.

“I often grieve, as I sit here in my house, for one and all of them. At times I cry aloud for sorrow, but presently I leave off again, for crying is cold comfort and one soon tires of it.”

· Homer, Book 4
