"To me, sadness and humor aren't disrelated and humor is the best tool I've had against the sadness in my life."
Mike Mills
"My experience, with both my parents, is that grief has a lot of down, sad things, but I was also really emotionally raw, in the first year after each of them passed. Flowers smelled more intensely, my relationships were hotter, and I was more willing to risk. I was going for it a lot more. I was 'unsober' and I wasn't playing by my rules."
