Over the course of their lives, humans shed around five million tears, equivalent to about 80 liters, or half a bathtub full. But tears are only a small, visible part of the grieving process. A process of dealing with changes in life, of reassembling one's self-image. We stumble over memories we have already forgotten. We stumble over our own bodies. How are sadness and comfort connected? Where does the anger over a loss reside, and how do we come to accept it? When something disappears, have we really lost it, or have we just misplaced the memory of it?
