When somebody we were really close to dies, do we feel sad because an amazing kind human being is gone or because we lost somebody imporant to us, meaning we're being selfish (in a way)?
When my dad died, I was sad because of so many things we never got to do or talk about. There are so many things I would like to know about but never will now.

Well, the selfish part of feeling the loss is not so very different from the way the friendship itself was selfish for both of us when it was happening.
My grief for my missing friends is not cancelled by that element. It draws us closer together.

I think it must be both...
