[quote=@Heroic] Closest thing to divorce I've ever experienced is never having met my biological father, and I've never experienced a death of someone terribly close. I just see it as death being a permanent and final goodbye on this Earth, whereas divorce only means the end of something special that may rock their relationships with others, but isn't anything absolutely, positively final for everyone. [/quote] Strange; I see the opposite. Death is a short goodbye, while divorce means that you'll walk away forever. But I guess it may depend on what you experience; three of my grandparents have died, and I haven't cried for any of their deaths once. However, I haven't experienced divorce. The closest was my uncle who divorced twice because he married two people who were absolutely insane. My uncle is one of the kindest people I know, but just got unlucky a couple times.
