¿Cómo es posible que me duela más una ruptura amorosa que la muerte de un familiar? ¿Por qué lloré tanto el final de la vida de mis perros y no el de la vida de mis abuelos? ¿Cómo puede uno romperse después de una mudanza y sobrevivir, sin mayor complicación, a la pérdida de una amistad que parecía para siempre?
El duelo es una de las experiencias más difíciles que experimentamos en la vida, aunque la inercia nos empuja a prestarle poca atención. Sin embargo, hay pérdidas tan dolorosas que nos impiden seguir adelante mientras el mundo sigue girando impasible a nuestro alrededor.
Ven a mí, emperatriz...
