I don't think it's odd...in fact, it makes all the sense in the world. As profoundly spiritual as I had always been, it's no coincidence that my devastating breakdown came right after my Dad and Mom died. The whole universe tilted, in the wrong direction, and my faith tilted with it. And then I felt no passion whatsoever for a very long time, until I redefined myself around - and re-discovered my spirituality within - my now "irrevocably changed" family.

Actually, that process is still ongoing...we're still fumbling around trying to figure out how to be family without them. But then, I guess that IS family, isn't it!
