Visiting the Grave
When Kay first met David, it was obvious that they instantly clicked. I could also tell that it killed her that she could not tell him about her manic depression, but I don't blame her. It must be incredibly difficult to open up to someone about that, especially with the thought in your head that they could respond in a very negative way and never speak to you again. But when David shows up about a year later, and she finally tells him, it brought her much closer to him. Their relationship progresses, but then David dies out of nowhere. It must have been so hard for her to cope with the fact that an amazing person came around that actually accepted her for who she is, and was, without notice, taken away from her. Visiting his grave couldn't have been easy, and I'm sure it added a lot of weight onto her in addition to everything else that she had going on in her life.
