>>Sorry, I did not mean to go into this, again I apologise but I don't have the time to explain or discuss it properly, so I'd better shut up. I just wanted to say: I was disappointed that Truly Madly Deeply did not give us a better way out than the hopping man. But if it works for you, hey that's fine! Lots of love to you all, Lieve.
As the instigator of this discussion, I feel I should comment, although I know very little about real grieving, I admit. I love the film and I think it tries to take the viewpoint of the person who has died. If you died suddenly tomorrow of whatever cause, if you loved someone would you want them to be unhappy for the rest of their lives? No, if it were possible you would want to help them through it somehow, but maybe, selfishly would you hope that they settled for something slightly second best like the hopping man? Personally, I really like the caring hopper and would consider myself lucky not to have jumped into a far worse fire. Jacky
