Thanks, everybody, for their responses.

I stayed up late writing this post, and when I went to bed afterwards, I found my self getting very angry at the priest (for the gall cited in the second paragraph of the post), and then I had my first really good cry about Grandpa's death.

The next day, I got a bad bout of food poisoning on the trip home (so this time the gall was literal). I don't think that there's any connection, unless perhaps lack of sleep weakened my immune system. But that's why I didn't read any of the responses until today.
