Bringing Out the Dead

             But as he years went by i began to realize that my primary role was less about saving lives than about bearing witness ....... I was a grief mop, and much of my job was to remove, if even for a short time, the grief starter, or the grief product, and mop up whatever i could. Often it was enough that i simply showed up.
