    When I spotted this on the Story of the Moment, the timing was perfect, since I had just finished "Where Shadows Go"-- and drat it, I still hadn't bought a new box of Kleenex! This story dealt with so MANY different aspects of loss and grief, and each one is handled beautifully. I hadn't thought how Dumbledore is the perfect person to give advice because he's nearly 3 times older and lost so many more loved ones than everyone around him. Also, facing the loss of the support Severus had counted on from his in-laws-- I totally know what it's like to face things alone because of lost support, tho' in my case, my "friends" chose to walk out when my life was more than they wanted to deal with or hear about. And poor little Harry, getting too many lessons about life & death at such a young age. I loved Sev telling off the woman at the cemetary! SAD story, but wonderfully written!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks so much! I should have posted the Kleenex warning.

    I wrote this while I was dealing with my own loss of a loved one .. . several actually, so I guess it just came out in how I wrote it. 

    I figured that Dumbledore should know more about grief than almost any of Sev's friends because of his age and how the older you get, the more people you lose. 

    Oh, tha's terrible. I'm so sorry to hear that. 

    Yeah, it's tough on Harry and Sev, but they'll get through it.

    Oh I'm sorry for your loss. I really liked this story of the series too. I just lost my grandfather in September, my dad took it very hard because they were very close. Are you going to make another story for this series?

    Author's Response: Thanks so much. My condolences on your grandfather.  I will be working eventually on the sequel for Growing Pains.

    This should be required reading for anyone who has lost a loved one. Everyone seems to forget that tears are half the griefing process. Thank you so much for this bittersweet story! Now I want to go back to your other stories and reread them from the start!!!! Yes, I needed tissues today, at work even!!!! Thank you for your talented writing. My heart, love and blessings go out to you. Even though we have never met, I feel I know you through your writings.

    Author's Response: You're welcome! This was, as I said, a tough story to write and even to read for a lot of people.  But it was something that I felt I needed to write after a reviewer suggested it. My halloween stories are much more cheerful, as is the new one I just posted called There Goes My Life.
