Crazy is not being there for each other.

"To many people grief, their own and especially other people’s grief, is an
inconvenience. If we were to truly feel it, we would be unable to get anything
done, to sleep at night, to go to work.
Exactly.
Perhaps the work we do is not the work we need to get done. But there is more to it than this. There are times when awareness is not enough, for self-preservation is our instinct. There are good reasons many of us do not allow ourselves to fall apart. The threat of death is real. If we lose our jobs, we lose our ability to feed ourselves, or
our children. If we display our full range of emotion we may lose relationships
when those who see a part of themselves in us but are not willing to go there,
feel threatened and run. Did anyone ever tell you things have to get worse
before they get better? This is one of those times.

Be brave."

Dance, when you're broken open.
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance, when you're perfectly free.
