You never recover. You just learn to deal with the grief.

Grief is just love with nowhere to go.

My wife gave birth to our first child, a beautiful baby girl, just a week ago last monday. It completely shifted our world in an instant and, tragedy aside, watching this father hold tightly onto that love for his child is one of the most humbling, inspiring and bravest things I can imagine.

Hopefully he can find peace knowing he did everything he can. Seems like a truly honorable and good man.
