"When we lose the ones we love, we mourn them, in part, by continuing to feel the vitality of this intervening space as the dilation of our body schema, and we know terrible confusion when the space turns out to be not between two bodies but only around the edges of ours. Why do the grief stricken yearn for the beloved's touch? ... the actual topography of the life we lived with our lost loved one, the halls and rooms and beds, remains with us, and so the lost bodies seem also to remain, not encrypted within us but pressing against and moving past our bodies' edges." - James Krasner
