Wray Morrison: There is no manual

I had lunch this week with my adult nephew, who has lost both of his parents.

He told me how surprised his co-workers were to see him at work shortly after his father passed away a few years ago. He needed to get back into a routine.

Some people need more time to absorb the loss of a loved one before moving on. There is no right way to say goodbye, because everyone is different.

On Wednesday, the L.A. Lakers held a light shootaround as they get set to continue their season following last weekend’s tragic death of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and seven others in a helicopter crash.

The show must go on. However, some Lakers players probably found it tough to be back at the gym, while some may be itching to get back to basketball. Again, there is no right or wrong answer to situations like this.

Those on this Lakers team and fans aren’t nearly over the devastation. How they heal will be different to each and every individual.
