In "Tuesdays with Morrie," the conversations between Mitch Albom and his former professor, Morrie Schwartz, delve into deep emotional truths about life and loss. One poignant moment occurs when Koppel reflects on the passage of time since the death of Morrie's mother, noting it has been seventy years. This highlights how grief can endure regardless of time.

Morrie's response, a simple yet powerful affirmation that the pain still persists, underscores the idea that profound loss can leave a lasting impact. His struggle with the lingering sorrow serves as a reminder of the importance of acknowledging and embracing our emotions, even many years after a loved one is gone.
