I loved reading this and it gave me a lot of thoughts about how to process the endings of many things, not just games. As someone living with a disability I acquired in the last few years, there's plenty of grief to be processed, and these rituals gave me new ways to look at it and hold it. I already worked through "Grief Is A Labyrinth" for a couple of games that I still miss, and I'm going to return to some of the other more involved rituals when I have time to sit with them. Thank you for this touching work.
