Oh! Thank you...you got it utterly. This is a trauma that I don't think anyone could ever "get over" -- it's a matter of being able to integrate it into the framework of his existence.
Grief is not neat, clean, easy. The Kubler-Ross stages don't follow in order, nor is there a specific time progression. Neal and Peter are going to have a long, hard road to travel. Thank god for Elizabeth.
