I am over one hundred years old, imperial absolute. I have missed people before, been made briefly sad by my Mistresses's absences. But I have never mourned before.

I am stuck in feedback loops. Statistically, she will probably return in a tiny fraction of the time that typically passed between my Mistress's visits. But she may not. I cannot seem to resolve any of my routines considering the matter, and given how many of them are occupied with precisely that - I find my functions somewhat strained.

Is this how grief feels for everyone? How do you handle it?

Yes, grief often feels that way. Thinking back at the time spent together, and that which is lost. People all have different reactions to it. The best way I have found is to remember them, and seek happiness.

This is good advice.

I am not sure how to commemorate her best. But as long as I am whole, I will remember.

Oh no problem, House.

I think that is the best anyone can truly do.
