Families and friends have wondered and agonized and prayed for the remains of their loved ones to be found within the debris, the pieces, of the September 11 attack.
Some may still receive the physical evidence, the pieces of bones, of life, that once were part of a body, a life, as workers once again sift through material from the site.
Our determination as a country and as individuals to honor and care for each other and our sacred bodies - even after death – may offer comfort and solace to those left in grief.
