Grief after the death of his wife of 40 years and the death of his son at age 48 when he wrote, "e;Grief is a temporary insanity that the sane can barely imagine"e; and finding love again later in life, "e;I feel lucky that the magic of love could happen at my age and I marvel at the capricious nature of life"e;.
