Love, Loss and Legacy (Season 8, Episode 5)

The human body is designed to compensate for loss.  It adapts, so it no longer needs the thing it can't have. But sometimes, the loss is too great, and the body can't compensate on its own.  That's when surgeons get involved.

We're so hopeful at the beginning of things.  It seems like there is only a world to be gained, not lost.  They say the inability to accept loss is a form of insanity.  It's probably true.  But sometimes, it's the only way to stay alive.
