After seeing your mail, memory comes for me of my dad who departed 18 yrs back and mother 7 yrs back. I also miss my brothers and one sister when we all lived together in the last 15 yrs. And in the last one year, my wife also divorced. That leaves me with one + zero. Though I feel depressed particularly in the nights, before I sleep, the day is packed with work. My friends who are counsellors, have advised me to go through the grief process in totality before I could recover for new bonding or new life. Some times I feel that life is so impermanent that any relationships or bonds have little meaning in them. I really like music, the soul searching devotional music from Hindu religion. I read lot of eastern philosophy which I really enjoy. My job as Management Consultant keeps me busy and with work I get lot of relief. But it is music that really gives me great relief, apart from being with nature particularly with rain forest or hills or any such area where mankind has been really kind to nature. Warmly, V. Ramachandran India. with me in life my last
