If we love, we grieve. That’s the deal.

Nick Cave recently answered a question on his blog, The Red Hand Files, about whether he ever felt he was in touch with his son, Arthur, who died in 2015 in a tragic accident.

Here is a excerpt from his reply…

“It seems to me, that if we love, we grieve. That’s the deal. That’s the pact. Grief and love are forever intertwined. Grief is the terrible reminder of the depths of our love and, like love, grief is non-negotiable. There is a vastness to grief that overwhelms our minuscule selves. We are tiny, trembling clusters of atoms subsumed within grief’s awesome presence. It occupies the core of our being and extends through our fingers to the limits of the universe.”
