I understand this intellectually, but I don’t feel it.

My view has always been, like you say later in the piece, I’m lucky just to be here at all. All of life is just extra credit. And while loss is saddening, I’m curious about how/why/when it becomes depressing for people.

It’s just something I have a hard time relating to, which is a bit of a liability in my line of work.

Nice piece, Nik!
