Interesting, well worth the read.
Orlovsky also noted that Jasper Howard’s death certainly had an impact on [Edsall]. I know with the certainty of experience that this must be true. Grief – real, to-the-bone grief – changes everything about you. It reorganizes every cell in your body, every synapse, every feeling, every thought. It would have been impossible to lose someone the way Edsall lost Jazz and not have it change you in your soul.
