Grat Resa's treatise

A treatise was written by the philosopher Grat Resa about the mourning process, including that the acknowledgment of the passing of a loved one was important to the healing process. The treatise also noted that getting enough rest was also part of the grieving process. By 232 BBY, during the High Republic Era, the scientist Avon Starros had became familiar with the treatise.

That year, while Starros and several others were stranded on the Outer Rim moon Wevo, she informed the Dalnan boy Honesty Weft of a plan they had come up with while he was sleeping. When Weft questioned that they had made the plan without him, Starros bluntly responded that his father had been killed. Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh told the scientist to be more sensitive, leaving Starros feeling confused. She then quoted Resa's treatise, before telling Weft his sleep had been good for his body. Rwoh countered that science could not replace empathy, and Starros apologized.
