“However, I’ve come to understand that under some circumstances a mourning period is liberating. You don’t have to act in normal ways while your heart is grieving. You can wear black and later grey or mauve and people will understand that you are in a liminal place, and can’t be fully counted on. There’s freedom in mourning time too.”
