One of my friends just put a dish on the roof of his house that's the size of a Hyundai... apparently it picks up Japanese TV stations... the fact that he only speaks English is irrelevant; he wants it.

It is about his ego.

Because children grieve differently from adults, they may appear not to be mourning at all. One adult client confessed her long held guilt that as a child, the day her sister died, she went to a neighbor's to play. This woman has been mourning her sister's death for thirty years.
