Sorry for your loss. That must be difficult to go through.
I don’t think that analogies from physics are always helpful. But the encouraging thing about entropy is that you can lower it by spending energy. And that seems to be a very apt analogy for living.
Doesn’t help when you are depressed though, because spending energy is then the last thing you want, even though you full well know how this is hurting you.
